What will happen if I wash my vagina with cold water?

Washing the vulva with water is generally safe, but using cold water can cause discomfort and disrupt the natural pH balance of the vagina, leading to irritation, itching, or infection. Cold water can cause vasoconstriction, which can reduce blood flow to the area, causing pain or numbness. It is advisable to use warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free soap while avoiding douching to maintain vaginal health.
