Option 4 : I should wear underwear with a cotton panel liner

Concept:

  • Reproductive tract infection -> Infection of the reproductive tract.
  • Causes -> natural events like menstruation, pregnancy, and child birth.
  • Symptoms -> Backache to lower abdominal pain, Genital ulcers, Vulval itching, Inguinal swelling and Abnormal vaginal discharge.
  • Complications -> pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, caervical cancer, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy and abortion.

Explanation:

  • Reproductive tract infections (RTI) include three types of infection.
    • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) -> chlamydia, gonorrhea, chancroid and HIV.
    • Endogenous infections -> bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginal candidiasis.
    • Iatrogenic infections -> unsafe abortion or poor delivery practices.
  • RTIs are preventable and many diseases are treatable as well.
  • 100% cotton is breathable and absorbs moisture, which reduces the risk of yeast infections and bacterial vaginitis.​
  • Rest of the options increase the risk of reproductive tract infections.

  • Douching has been associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, low birth weight, ectopic pregnancy, infertility and RTIs.
  • Using a latex male condom or a female condom can greatly reduce, but not entirely eliminate the risk of HIV and STD transmission.
  • Tight-fitting jeans are also linked to vaginal irritation, yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis.
