Why wash your ass?
The skin of the anus is delicate, and there are many folds, dense folds create opportunities for the residue of feces and secretions, so it is difficult to wipe clean 100% with toilet paper.
Studies have shown that wiping your ass with toilet paper, although rubbing hard, or rubbing several times, will also leave about 0.1g of feces in the anal fold area, and here is in a secret position that does not see light and is not breathable, so it has become a breeding ground for bacteria, if not cleaned or cleaned in time, it will cause a variety of anorectal diseases.
What are the dangers of not washing your ass often?
Studies have shown that 0.1g of feces contains about 1 million viruses, 100,000 bacteria, 10 eggs, etc., and there are quite a few types of pathogenic bacteria, and the potential risk of infection is high.
Bacteria that have long been hidden in the folds of the anus can cause inflammatory irritation to the local skin and mucous membranes, which in turn can cause a variety of anorectal diseases, such as:
1. Perianal itching
The anus is long-term accompanied by fecal and secretive erosion, which can easily cause perianal itching, and long-term perianal itching may lead to perianal skin diseases and perianal organic lesions.
2. Perianal eczema
The long-term presence of feces in the anus and the long-term presence of damp, airtight conditions often induce eczema, causing itching, exudation, and ulceration. In addition to the skin around the anus, eczema can also spread to the perineum, buttocks, thigh roots, etc.
3. Hemorrhoids
Long-term drinking, spicy, sedentary, constipation, diarrhea, etc. can cause hemorrhoids, and the unhygienic part, bacteria and secretions attached to the anus will stimulate the rectal canal, causing venous congestion and expansion, obstructed hemorrhoidal venous return, and also cause hemorrhoidal attacks.
4. fistula
The anus is in a long-term bacterial inflammatory secretion, causing sinusitis, gland infection, will further spread from the inside to the outside, resulting in bacterial infection of the space around the anus, and eventually cause a perianal abscess, perianal abscess develops rapidly, a few days can penetrate the skin or through the anorectal canal to form an fistula.
fistula can cause abnormal sensations such as swelling, pus, perianal dampness, increased discharge, itching, and perianal discomfort, and once fistula is formed, it cannot heal itself and must be treated surgically.
Why does washing your ass every day still itch?
Or it is caused by:
1. You may already have common diseases of the rectal canal, such as hemorrhoids, fissures, fistula, etc., and you need to go to the hospital in time to check and find out the specific cause.
2. Perianal parasitic infections, such as pinworm infections, and some microorganisms such as trichomoniasis, Candida albicans and other infections will also cause itching.
3. Some skin diseases can also cause itching in the anus, such as lichen planus.
4. Also pay attention to whether there are some allergic reactions caused by allergens, as well as the intake of alcohol, peppers and other irritating foods.
5. Bad emotions such as anxiety, panic, and nervousness may also cause perianal itching.
What should I pay attention to when washing my ass?
1, the ass is not washed as clean as possible
Many people in order to clean up, usually use shower gel, soap, private lotion, etc., this will bring more problems, the use of soap or shower gel, etc., will destroy the perianal skin surface PH value, interfere with the acid-base balance of the perianal skin, make the skin dry, which may cause perianal itching and other diseases.
For those who already have anorectal disease, the use of soap or shower gel can aggravate the condition and even cause the risk of other diseases.
2, wash your ass without too frequent
Under normal circumstances, it is enough to clean once a day, and too many times of cleaning may disrupt the normal secretory function of the canal, thereby reducing the disease resistance of the anus.
3. Try to use the shower head to rinse
Rinse with running water, more clean and hygienic, it is recommended that the water temperature is about 40 ° C, not too hot or too cold, so as not to burn or too irritate the perianal skin.
4. Dedicated to the basin
Some people do not use the conditions of the shower, you can also wash the basin, but be sure to pay attention to the special basin, do not mix the basin for washing the ass with the basin for washing socks or other items, and pay attention to the basin before each ass washing.
If there is already an anorectal related disease, you can also consider a sitz bath, with 1:3000 ~ 5000 potassium permanganate warm hot water sitz bath, for the prevention and treatment of anorectal diseases have a good effect, but the sitz bath time is not too long, 5 to 10 minutes each time.
