Wearing pants to bed can harm you

Do you wear pants to bed? Many women would likely answer in the affirmative. However, experts say when a woman does so on a daily basis when it's not necessarily because she is having her period, there may be untoward side effects to it!
Physicians aver that the female genital needs to breathe in
order to maintain its PH levels and prevent fungi and
odour. And that's why doctors advise going bare below
when it's bed time at the close of day.
Part of the problem, says Family Physician, Dr. Grace
Obong, is that during the day, women wear a variety of
panties and tight outfits that hardly allow their privates to
breathe. She says though it's advisable and absolutely
preferable to wear cotton panties, many women still opt for
polyester panties, with the attendant heating up of the
genital area while the day lasts.
And as for those who may not like to go to sleep without
having pants on, Obong recommends wearing of boxers or
pyjamas.
Bacterial vaginosis
Talking about the need to maintain the PH levels of the
honeypot, experts at womenshealth.gov say the honeypot
normally has a balance of mostly "good" bacteria and fewer
"harmful" bacteria. However, a condition, called bacterial
vaginosis, develops when the balance changes.
"With BV, there is an increase in harmful bacteria and a
decrease in good bacteria. BV is the most common
honeypotl infection in women of child-bearing age," the
portal enthuses.
Obong says women with BV may have an abnormal
honeypotl discharge with an unpleasant odour, while some
women may complain of a strong fish-like odour,
especially after sex.
"The discharge can be white (milky) or gray. It may also
be foamy or watery. Other symptoms may include burning
when urinating, itching around the outside of the honeypot,
and irritation; while some women with BV have no
symptoms at all," she adds.
Yeast infection
To further underscore the negative effects of wearing
panties to bed, online portal, Medline Plus, also notes that
too much moist in the female genital area can lead to
honeypotl yeast infection, most commonly due to the
fungus Candida albicans.
"Wearing tight underwear or a pair made from polyester or
some other material that doesn't breathe can lock in
moisture and lead to yeast infections," the warning goes.
Again, Certified Sexuality Counselor, Evelyn Resh, says, "I
do not recommend that women wear underwear to bed.
Taking a break from underwear for the eight or so hours
that you're asleep gives you an opportunity to 'air-out'
down there! Best to have an underwear-free zone while
sleeping."
And while yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted
illness, physicians say some men will develop symptoms
such as itching and a rash on the joystick after having
sexual contact with an infected partner.
The symptoms of yeast infection are as obnoxious as they
are embarrassing, and they include abnormal honeypotl
discharge, which ranges from a slightly watery, white
discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge; painful
intercourse, painful urination, redness and swelling of the
vulva; and itching in the honeypot and the labia. You may
also feel burning sensation when you have yeast infection.
Go natural
The online physician, Dr. Mehmet Oz, counsels, "It's time
to go au naturel. You don't want it to be so moist down
there. Let it dry out a little bit." The reason for this timely
advice, Oz says, is because the underpants can abrade on
your skin a little bit, and can cause pimples. And you don't
want that.
