In this article, we will discuss some of these mistakes in the first part, focusing on the importance of taking care of the health of girls’ reproductive systems.
The first mistake: preventing the removal of excess hair
Some mothers believe that removing excess hair in sensitive areas is shameful or inappropriate, especially before marriage. While this may be a deeply held belief, it has serious health consequences for a girl’s fertility.
How does excess hair affect fertility
A fertile environment for bacteria: Excess hair is an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and microbes, especially in the vaginal area.
Uterine infections: These bacteria may move to the uterus, leading to severe infections.
Blocked fallopian tubes: Uterine infections may develop into pus, leading to blockage of the fallopian tubes, which hinders the natural fertilization process.
Effect on the uterine lining: Uterine infections may affect the uterine lining, making it unsuitable for embryo implantation, even in cases of ICSI.
Important tips
Educating girls about the importance of personal hygiene: Mothers should educate their daughters about the importance of personal hygiene, including removing excess hair in a safe manner. Consultation with a gynecologist: It is recommended to consult a gynecologist to determine the best way to remove excess hair for each girl.
