The medicaments sanitary napkin on market claims to have fight bacterium commonly, antipruritic wait for health care effect. Can a medicated sanitary napkin really have the preventive effect as advertised?

Uncovering the 4 biggest lies of the medicated sanitary pad

1, sterilization, but caused by vulva flora disorder

Even during menstruation, healthy female genital bacteria in a state of mutual interaction of balanced, and medical sanitary napkin contains antibacterial ingredients, in use will affect the number of normal flora in vagina, is likely to make a substantial reduction in a number of bacteria, promote the growth of certain bacteria, in this case, the damage due to imbalances in vaginal vaginal flora, the special environment of mold which could more easily.

Doctors point out that, although the drug sanitary napkin that has "antibacterial, antibacterial, relieving itching, alleviate dysmenorrhea, relieve discomfort", but these drugs sanitary napkin often use is not recommended, as the human body has its own immune mechanism, some drug sanitary napkin marking content is not clear, don't change for a long time can lead to bacterial reproduction instead, cause illness.

2, cover up the smell, but lead to allergies

On market a few contain the sanitary towel of sweet smell, mint odour especially welcome, many women feel period always has a kind of bad smell, and the sanitary towel of this type can cover odour however, very convenient. To this, doctor du jing of department of gynaecology of jiaxing armed police hospital points out, to allergic constitution, should choose sanitary napkin more carefully.

These contain the sanitary napkin of spice, medicaments certain composition may cause skin allergy, menstruation female immunity is low originally, a lot of women chose the sanitary napkin that does not suit oneself, some can feel SAO is urticant intolerable, appear even vulva is red and swollen, large dermatitis, cause privateness allergy SAO is urticant.

3. Cleaning effect? Increase drug dependence

Although medicaments sanitary towel can have to menstruation female private parts to maintain clean effect to a certain extent, be in commonly abort or diagnose when having certain kind of disease use, can kill effectively vulva harmful bacterium, have the effect of adjuvant treatment, suit the woman that has disease of a few department of gynaecology, but healthy woman is not necessary.

If long-term use of drug sanitary napkins, it will destroy the vaginal acid-base balance, resulting in dependence on drug sanitary napkins, but more vulnerable to bacterial damage, so drug sanitary napkins to be careful.

4.Can cure? Even prevention is unlikely.

Most of the drugs contained in the pharmaceutical sanitary napkin are traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, some businesses exaggerated, claimed to have "prevent a variety of gynecological diseases, adjust the balance of Yin and Yang, warm the uterus, invigorate the kidney, relieve the nerve, about 70% of gynecological diseases have the effect of treatment. To this, experts say, Chinese herbal sanitary napkins can not treat gynecological diseases, even the prevention of disease is unlikely.

Because an important herb like motherwort is basically taken orally, applying it to the vulva doesn't do anything at all. Some women with recurrent vaginal infections may instead be caused by the use of sanitary napkins containing different types of drugs, fragrances and other additives.

Investigation discovers according to the reporter, in the patient of outpatient of department of gynaecology disease sees a doctor, the patient that has 3% to 5% is caused by sanitary napkin use inappropriately, if mould sex vaginitis, irritability sex dermatitis waits for a disease.

Some experts believe that because the Chinese herbal medicine is mostly soaked into the sanitary napkin, drying the sanitary towel in the pharmaceutical ingredients are very small, even if some of the remaining ingredients of Chinese medicine, it is difficult to be absorbed through skin contact.

Especially in summer, many women will wear a plastic role of the underwear, neither loose, airtight, more likely to cause gynecological diseases. If you often use medicated sanitary pads or pads, it will break the acid-base balance of the private parts, cause the dependence on medicated sanitary pads, reduce the self-immunity and cleaning effect of the private parts, but more vulnerable to bacterial invasion. And to some skin sensitive woman, use medicaments sanitary napkin should notice more, because may cause skin allergy, appear the symptom such as pruritus of illicit parts.

Expert proposal: common sanitary napkin is changed frequently can

For women often use sanitary napkin with drugs or fragrance, experts remind them that while drug sanitary napkin is generally claimed is antibacterial, antibacterial, relieving itching, even alleviate dysmenorrhea, relieve discomfort and balance of vaginal ph effect, also can to some extent in menstrual period women cleaning effect, but it doesn't really sterilization, healthy women needn't commonly used.

So, the expert says, the average woman of healthy body should choose as far as possible do not have sweet, the cotton that does not have medicaments composition is soft sanitary napkin. To the person of sanitary towel allergy, do not often use wholesome pad, because the chemical fiber of cushion surface layer can breed bacterium, should often change wash underwear, maintain relaxed.

And the sanitary napkins and sanitary pads with bactericidal effect in the market should be used with more caution. Bactericidal effect may destroy the normal environment of bacterial flora, and it is more likely for mold to breed.

In addition, expert everybody, look from healthy Angle, sanitary napkin does not suggest a day to change only 1 -- 2 times, because classics blood itself is the nutrition base that suits bacterium reproduction very much, should accomplish at least 2 -- 3 hours change.

Menstruation is little when also need is changed frequently. Change it before you go to bed. Try to wash your hands before using the sanitary napkin, otherwise it is easy to bring the germs on your hands to the sanitary napkin.
