A member asked:

Are there any 'unknown' important tips on feminine hygiene? just to prevent infections and keep an overall clean.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Creighton Wright answered

Specializes in surgery

Unlikely: External soap and water. If drainage, some douches can be helpful and simple. Hope one of the gyns will respond also. If really excessive drainage or odor, be evaluated for other conditions.
