The recommendation to clean the vulva only with water or a gentle cleanser without scrubbing is fully validated by the guidelines of the Collège National des Gynécologues et Obstétriciens Français (CNGOF), which are based on expert consensus to avoid altering the skin barrier. Advice regarding the impact of declining estrogen (such as atrophy or adhesions) is also supported by solid clinical data from the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). Furthermore, pelvic floor training is supported by a meta-analysis from the Cochrane Database, demonstrating its efficacy for muscle tone and daily comfort. The benefit of regular hydration is real in cases of dryness, even though simple, neutral emollients are often sufficient compared to specific brand-name products. Finally, the association of this routine with a gain in aesthetic confidence is a matter of wellness marketing and has not been the subject of studies, but the practice of self-observation remains generally very positive.

Painful orgasms are not inevitable and can be relieved through techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, CBD suppositories, the use of pelvic dilators/wands, and pelvic floor physical therapy.

To urinate in a public restroom without sitting, you must avoid hovering in an unstable position (which contracts the pelvic muscles and blocks the bladder). Instead, squat while holding firmly onto the door handle or the wall to stabilize your body, and take deep breaths to facilitate relaxation.

To urinate more effectively in public restrooms (such as a porta-potty), it is necessary to avoid maintaining a 'chair' position (an unsupported squat), as this contracts the pelvic floor. Instead, favor a squatting position with support (hands on the door or wall), accompanied by deep breathing to promote relaxation.

Others on this

Drinking still water throughout the day can lead to dehydration; it is necessary to add a pinch of salt to your water for optimal hydration.

mixedDr. Stacy T. Sims

The ingredients in Diet Coke, such as aspartame or sodium citrate, are harmless if consumed in moderation, as the risk lies in the dose and not in the ingredient itself. Aspartame is one of the most studied components in the world, and there is no solid scientific evidence that it directly harms our well-being.

After a long-haul flight and a sleep deficit, a caffeine-containing drink (Oronamin C) gives a real energy lift, and electrolytes (Pocari Sweat) make sense because flying genuinely dehydrates you — but the rest of the cocktail (vitamin C, B2, B6, amino acids, honey) has no specific evidence against jet lag fatigue, unlike melatonin, which is well studied for exactly this.

Other advice in the Register that leans on the same research.

To facilitate bowel movements and reduce pressure on the pelvic floor, it is recommended to adopt a squatting position on the toilet by placing the knees higher than the hips, without necessarily using an expensive accessory.

Urinary leakage (especially when sneezing) is not an inevitable fate of aging or motherhood; it can be prevented and corrected by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
