Is Your bidet Risky? Doctor Reveals unexpected Health Concerns
The increasing popularity of injection cords, commonly known as bidets, has sparked debate about their impact on health and hygiene. while often touted for cleanliness and environmental benefits, a doctor’s warning highlights potential risks associated with improper use.
The installation and use of the injection cord allows for easier cleaning of the anus or hard-to-reach areas, particularly benefiting individuals with mobility limitations, arthritis, pregnant women, and postpartum mothers who may find it difficult to bend for conventional toilet paper use. Beyond personal hygiene, proponents note the environmental advantages, citing reduced reliance on paper production-a resource-intensive process requiring important wood, chemicals, water, and energy.
Though, Dr. Rabia cautioned that incorrect bidet usage can lead to health problems.Specifically, excessive water pressure from the injection can cause pain, anal fissures, inflammation, or exacerbate hemorrhoids, and increase the risk of infection.
To mitigate these risks, experts recommend the following:
* Directionality: Always direct the water flow from front to back to prevent the spread of bacteria from the anus to the urethra, potentially causing urinary tract infections affecting the bladder, kidneys, or urethra.
* Regular Cleaning: Wipe and disinfect the bidet nozzle regularly to prevent germ accumulation and spread.
* Public Restroom Caution: Be wary of using bidets in public restrooms, as research indicates they can harbor high levels of germs. Wipe the nozzle with disposable paper or cloth before each use for safety.
Despite the potential drawbacks, most experts maintain a positive outlook on bidet use. When used correctly, they believe bidets enhance personal cleanliness, reduce the risk of certain health issues, and contribute to environmental conservation.
