A member asked:
When i have a soft stool i have to wipe perineum as there is feces there, not on vagina but the skin under. always wipe front to back. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, normal: It is important to remember to always wipe front to back. To avoid vaginal or urinary tract infections transmitted by germs in the feces, keep the perineal area very clear. Consider washing with soap and lots of water after having a bowel movement. Some women routinely shower after having had a bowel movement.
