Expectant mothers have lower immunity during pregnancy and are more susceptible to bacterial infections. Especially reproductive health is more susceptible to harm, and many expectant mothers experience discomfort in the external genitalia during pregnancy. In order to alleviate the discomfort, they will try to use some traditional Chinese medicine to boil water for cleaning. Can we use mugwort leaves to wash the external genitalia during pregnancy?
Ai Ye has good anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti itch effects. If expectant mothers experience itching or other discomfort in the external genitalia, they can use Ai Ye to clean the external genitalia. However, there are many precautions during the process of cleaning with mugwort leaves. Firstly, it is important to ensure that the mugwort water is clean and free of impurities. It is best to boil mugwort leaves in water and filter them with gauze before use to prevent residue from entering the vagina.
Although mugwort has health benefits, it is not recommended to use mugwort water to clean the external genitalia if the expectant mother's reproductive tract has always been healthy without any discomfort symptoms. In this state, warm water can be used for cleaning. Ai Ye Shui can be used to relieve discomfort in the external genitalia, but cannot be used as a daily care solution. Expectant mothers need to remember this clearly.
The method of using mugwort water to clean the external genitalia is only suitable for expectant mothers with mild symptoms. If the discomfort in the external genitalia is severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and if necessary, medication can be administered under the supervision of a doctor. However, when seeking medical treatment, it is important to inform the doctor that you are pregnant, so that the doctor can consider medication accordingly.
