Don’t wash female babies’ genitals with medicated soap –Doctor

A paediatric doctor, Dr. Juliet Ochi, has urged mothers and care-givers to avoid the use of medicated soap in washing the genitals of their female babies to prevent infection.

Ochi, a doctor at the Enugu State Teaching Hospital, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Enugu.

According to her, it is better to use toilet soap.

“The genitals of the female have useful bacteria that protect it. The use of medicated soap could damage such bacteria, thereby causing an infection in that region.

“Medicated soap is meant for the skin. It is only on the prescription of a dermatologist that such soap should be used.

“Some (bacteria) are important and protect the region from contacting infection, so using medicated soap on it will mean removing them.

“Not all bacteria in the genital region are bad, some are very important and protect the vagina from germs.

“If you use medicated soap on the region, it means you are weakening the vagina’s defence system, thereby attracting infection to the region,’’ she said.

Ochi urged females to always use mild toilet soap when washing their genitals.

She explained that medicated soaps make the vagina unfavorable for the good bacteria, which could lead to candida, a fungus that causes yeast infection in females.(NAN)

The 31-year-old made herself at home in the sprawling 9,500 square foot home, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California.

While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization. The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event." The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
