SURPRISING FACT: 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.
boxers or pyjamas.
Bacterial vaginosis
Talking about the need to maintain the PH levels of the vagina, experts at womenshealth.gov
say the vagina
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 vaginal infection in women of
child-bearing age,” the portal enthuses.
Obong
says women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal 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 vagina, 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 vaginal 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 penis after having
sexual contact with an infected partner.
The
symptoms of yeast infection are as obnoxious as they are embarrassing,
and they include abnormal vaginal 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 vagina 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.
