Believe it or not, most of the health problems you face with are caused by the fact that you have cleaned your behind wrong your entire life.
In case you are one of those who suffer from hemorrhoids and frequent infections of the genitalia or the urinary tract, stop blaming the bad bacteria all the time. It seems that the bad hygiene in the genital area and the wrong way of using toilet paper are the main culprits for the problems you face with. As this topic is quite unpopular in the public, people make mistakes in the bathroom without being aware of them. Most of those mistakes are highly detrimental to the organism.
It is completely normal for us to go to the toilet several times a day, and due to the well established habit of controlled urination, we do it automatically without thinking what we should do there. Consider the following mistakes most people do:
- The Type of Toilet is Very Important
Opt for soft toilet paper free of color and added fragrance, as this type is less irritating for the skin.
- Cleaning in the Wrong Way
In general, women make an unconscious mistake and tend to clean the area after urination from the back to the front. However, this is completely wrong and dangerous, as they transmit bacteria, such as E.Coli , from the rectum to the urinary channel. Women`s urethra is shorter in comparison to men, and it allows bacteria to reach the bladder more easily and quickly, which in turn causes different urinary infections. Remember, wipe from front to back!
- Too Much Cleaning
Toilet paper irritates the skin of the perianal area, which in turn causes inflammation and itching. It is recommended to wipe it twice, and if you need more than that, it is very likely that your digestive tract is not entirely emptied.
- You Sit Too Long on the Toilet
People with constipation of similar problem tend to make the mistake of sitting too long on the toilet. This is very bad because useless sitting does more harm than good. Stand up and walk around in order to stimulate the digestive tract, rather than you sit on the toilet and wait for it to start working.
