Women's Hygiene



Hello everyone! I would like to share a very recent story of mine during this pandemic time. Basically I'm a post-graduate student, studying in an university which is far away from my home i.e. 3019 km approx. Before the lock down announced I personally thought that travelling that time would be little risky, so decided to stay back in my hostel. But very soon situation got more worst in the city where i am living and I was literally became more home-sick  and kinda afraid to be there. After spending two months in my hostel, finally with the help of our government all the stranded students of our states brought back to our respective homes. But the difficulty was that we need to travel for five days in bus and the journey started on 3rd may and we reached finally on 7th may. No doubt this was one of my memorable journey and thanks won't be enough to our government for bringing us back but during the journey we faced little problems regarding  washroom and all. For five days in this hot summer we students didn't took bath but that's not a big deal in compare to the washroom condition and water we are using  in our journey.Travelling during the lock down situation that was obvious we can't expect proper washroom and we got no other option we had to use all possible washroom whether it was clean or not and we don't even know whether water is clean or contaminated, so I was really got feared what if some unwanted or say unhygienic affects my vagina. And sadly what I was fearing actually happened to me, on the third of my journey I was really having bad vaginal itching which was too unconformable and pathetic thing and then I found that some unwanted boils also came up. Believe me at that point when I found it I was so afraid and it was just third day of my journey where more two days to go to reached our state. I was even afraid to use washroom also what if the thing get more worst. So, I have traveled taking the burden and I was mentally got so depressed. But luckily when I reached my state, I was in quarantine center for seven days and since from that first day of my quarantine i have washed my genital parts like for two/three times with V-wash. and after days all those boils and itching actually got disappeared. So through this story of mine, I would like to say that women's hygiene is so much important and we should never ignored this thing in our entire life because we never know what kind of unwanted diseases might affects us. I feel sad for all those women out there who are in living in areas where no proper hygiene water is supplied, as I can personally feel the pain and what kind of trauma they are going through even there were some women who are still feel ashamed to discuss all those kind of issues with their own family members. I really wish in the near future every women should never compromise  with the health issues and for that they should at least have some proper knowledge about women' hygiene.
