A member asked:

A dirty towel from the bathroom floor that soaked up water from shower, dirty feet etc. got near my vagina, it had much dirt on it... it did not go in, though, will something happen me? also, how can i stop overthinking and being a germaphobe?

The human body was made for exposure to a germy world. Our biggest defense is healthy skin layer and the ability to wash off excess germs. Most germ infections occur in specific places where there is a breakdown in the protective skin layer. Take care of your skin, wash your body daily and eat a healthy diet. At 25, contaminated food, STDs, or respiratory infection are the things to worry about.

The best way to be sure is to see your Gynecologist and have a thorough exam.
