How should one maintain sexual hygiene?
Q: I would like to know about hygiene pertaining to sexual organs of both male and female. Can you inform me of the same?
A:As regards hygiene, it is advised to wash these organs with soap and water (while taking bath) at least once a day. Change your undergarments regularly. Females should use sanitary napkins of good quality during menses. Avoid unsafe sexual practices. In India, women should make sure that while using water for ablution, the movements of the hand should be from front to back. Keep the pubic hair short.
