Genital Infections: Mistakes Many Women Still Make Unknowingly

Women in Africa are regularly exposed to genital infections, often caused by poor hygiene practices. Simple habits such as washing only the external genital area with clean water or mild soap, wiping from front to back, and changing sanitary products every three to four hours during menstruation can prevent these infections. It is also important to avoid vaginal douching and wearing damp clothing for extended periods. Adopting responsible behaviors helps maintain the natural balance of the intimate flora and reduces infection risks.
