The answers that require further instruction are those that can cause urethritis. Sanitary napkins need to be changed every 3 to 4 hours and as needed. Taking a bubble bath and cleansing with soap can be irritating to the sensitive tissues. It is correct to buy tissue paper without scents and drink fruit juices.
