To BV or Not To BV 👀 The pitfalls of self-diagnosis

How do I cleanse after sex to reduce irritation without disrupting pH?
Rinse the vulva (outside only) with warm water, then pat dry. If you want a cleanser, use a fragrance-free, pH-considerate wash sparingly—never douche. Urinate soon after sex, swap damp fabrics for breathable underwear, and skip perfumed sprays. See a clinician for strong odor, unusual discharge, pain, or fever.
