Do YOU WEAR PANTS TO BED?Panties To Bed Is Detrimental To Your Health! - Read reason!

Do you wear pants to bed? Many women would

likely answer in the affirmative.
However, experts

say when a woman does so on a daily basis

when it’s not necessarily because she is having

her period, there may be untoward side effects

to it!

Physicians ever that the female genital needs to

breathe in order to maintain its PH levels and

prevent fungi and odour. And that’s why doctors

advise going bare below when it’s bed time at

the close of day.

“With BV, there is an increase in harmful

bacteria and a decrease in good bacteria. BV is

the most common va’ginal infection in women of

child-bearing age.”

Part of the problem, says Family Physician, Dr.

Grace Obong, is that during the day, women wear

a variety of panties and tight outfits that hardly

allow their privates to breathe. She says though

it’s advisable and absolutely preferable to wear

cotton panties, many women still opt for

polyester panties, with the attendant heating up

of the genital area while the day lasts.

And as for those who may not like to go to sleep

without having pants on, Obong recommends

wearing of boxers or pyjamas.

Bacterial va’ginosis

Talking about the need to maintain the PH levels

of the va’gina, experts at womenshealth.gov say

the va’gina normally has a balance of mostly

“good” bacteria and fewer “harmful” bacteria.

However, a condition, called bacterial va’ginosis,

develops when the balance changes.

Obong says women with BV may have an

abnormal va’ginal discharge with an unpleasant

odour, while some women may complain of a

strong fish-like odour, especially after se’x.

“The discharge can be white (milky) or gray. It

may also be foamy or watery. Other symptoms

may include burning when ur’inating, itching

around the outside of the va’gina, and irritation;

while some women with BV have no symptoms

at all,” she adds.

Yeast infection

To further underscore the negative effects of

wearing panties to bed,online portal, Medline

Plus, also notes that too much moist in the

female genital area can lead to va’ginal yeast

infection, most commonly due to the fungus

Candida albicans.

“Wearing tight underwear or a pair made from

polyester or some other material that doesn’t

breathe can lock in moisture and lead to yeast

infections,” the warning goes.

Again, Certified Sexuality Counselor, Evelyn Resh,

says, “I do not recommend that women wear

underwear to bed. Taking a break from

underwear for the eight or so hours that you’re

asleep gives you an opportunity to ‘air-out’ down

there! Best to have an underwear-free zone while

sleeping.”

And while yeast infection is not a se’xually

transmitted illness, physicians say some men will

develop symptoms such as itching and a rash on

the pen*s after having se’xual contact with an

infected partner.

The symptoms of yeast infection are as

obnoxious as they are embarrassing, and they

include abnormal va’ginal discharge, which

ranges from a slightly watery, white discharge to

a thick, white, chunky discharge; painful

intercourse, painful urination, redness and

swelling of the vu’lva; and itching in the va’gina

and the lab’ia. You may also feel burning

sensation when you have yeast infection.

Go natural

The online physician, Dr. Mehmet Oz, counsels,

“It’s time to go on natural. You don’t want it to

be so moist down there. Let it dry out a little

bit.” The reason for this timely advice, Oz says,

is because the underpants can abrade on your

skin a little bit, and can cause pimples. And you

don’t want that.
