4. Poor Hygiene Practices

Not practicing proper hygiene, such as not cleaning the intimate area regularly or not wiping properly (always front to back), can lead to infections like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or skin irritations. Regular but gentle cleaning and proper wiping habits are essential for maintaining intimate health.

5. Ignoring Symptoms

Discomfort, unusual discharge, odor, or pain in the intimate area shouldn’t be ignored. These symptoms can indicate infections or other health issues. Prompt medical attention can prevent conditions from worsening.
