The vulva is the outer part of the female Reproductive system. Its what you see when a woman open her legs wide.

It has the vagina opening and the urethral opening.

Just below it is the anus.. Where fecal matter is excreted from the body.

These openings are close to each other. It means infection can easily pass from one opening to the other if you don’t clean well.

Its important to clean yourself after using the washroom from front to back. Meaning you clean from the Urethral opening, towards the vagina opening then the rectum.

This will prevent sending infection from the rectum into your vagina and urinary tract.

Always maintain strict personal hygiene and also wear clean and comfortable underwear preferably made from cotton.

Its important to keep your perineum clean and dry to prevent infection.
