Some women are eager to get a piercing. They enjoy jewelry, and seek as many ways as possible to display the jewelry that they possess. This article does not deal with the possible infection that could be caused by careless use of a piercing needle. This article focuses on the type of infection that could result from improper aftercare, following a particular type of piercing.

A woman who has had a clitoris piercing might purchase and wear a clitoris ring. If that same woman also decides to use a perfume-like chemical in a douche, then her clitoris piercing could become the cause of a smell far different from the sweet smell of the perfume used in the douching solution.

By using a perfume in a douche, a woman changes the pH of her vaginal region. Normally, a woman’s vaginal region has a pH that is between 3.8 and 4.5. That pH prevents the growth of the bacteria that can cause a vaginal infection.

According to estimates made by health professionals, the organism called bacteria vaginosis produces up to 95% of the unpleasant smells that are associated with feminine odor problems. Those same bacteria are present in the vagina at the time of a clitoris piercing. For that reason, a woman must use great care when selecting a piercing specialist.

A good piercing specialist should know how to clean the area of the vagina prior to the clitoris piercing. A good piercing specialist should take the time to explain to the female client the sort of after care that should follow that same piercing. A knowledgeable piercing specialist would not suggest the douching of the vagina.

A knowledgeable piercing specialist would realize that any effort at douching could cause the woman with the piercing to develop a vaginal infection. A knowledgeable piercing specialist should appreciate why a woman would want to avoid getting such an infection. A vaginal infection can create much discomfort.

A woman with a vaginal infection will have vaginal itching. A woman with a vaginal infection will notice a fishy odor coming from a private part of her body, a part close to the area that can undergo a piercing. A woman with a vaginal infection might also complain about a sudden soreness.

Sometimes, a woman with a vaginal infection even develops a rash. A woman might want to put a pretty colored ring in a piercing, but she certainly does not want a red rash in the area near a piercing. For that reason, a woman should use exercise caution when cleaning the area of a piercing. She should not count on douching to provide a tool for satisfactory aftercare following the piercing of any part of the private region in her body.

After a medical student finishes medical school and completes an internship, then he or she has a chance to elect a specialty. In order to become an “expert” in that specialty, the young medical professional must pass through a residency. A resident in the field of urology might well get an unexpected lesson on female chastity piercing.

It is doubtful that such a lesson would include the showing of a female piercing video. Such a video has material that an average resident might find rather boring. Such a video has usually been designed for showing in a class of aspiring piercing specialists. Some students in that class might need to learn some basics about the biology behind female chastity piercing.

A resident generally knows a great deal about the biology of the human female. A resident has had to work with a female cadaver in a laboratory setting. At the present time, most cadavers do not have a female chastity piercing. Still, that does not mean that a resident in urology would never encounter such a piercing.

More and more women have chosen to get a female chastity piercing. For that reason, more and more urology residents suddenly find themselves staring at the element placed in a woman by a piercing specialist. Sometimes that element is just a piece of jewelry; sometimes it is a device meant to guarantee the woman’s chastity.

When a woman receives a piercing in order to maintain her chastity, she usually does not think about a future urological problem. She does not think about the possibility that a doctor might one day see her piercing. When a medical student decides to specialize in urology, that student might have ruled out a possible specialization in obstetrics and gynecology. That student does not foresee his or her chance encounter with a patient who is determined to stay chaste.

That is why both patient and doctor are a bit taken aback, when a woman with a chastity piercing walks into the office of an urologist. The female patient is generally rather uncomfortable with having anyone examine her most private parts. The doctor is often unfamiliar with the sort of adornment put in place by the piercing specialist.

The resident would no doubt feel compelled to ask the patient some questions about her piercing. The patient might display a decided reluctance to share facts about that piercing with the resident. The resident might find it necessary to seek assistance from a more experienced doctor.

Maybe the day will come when every class of medical students must listen to at least one lecture about body piercing. Such a lecture would spare an older, male doctor the embarrassment of speaking to a resident about some sort of female piercing.

Not every woman should feel comfortable about seeking a health professional who can perform a female genital piercing. A woman who has just undergone a bone transplant should have second thoughts about requesting a female genital piercing. That is especially true, if that same woman is currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

When a woman who has had a bone transplant undergoes either chemotherapy or  radiation treatment, she puts herself at risk for the development of a vaginal yeast infection. Since performance of a female genital piercing can not be done without introduction of a possible infection, the woman who invites both a vaginal yeast infection and a genital infection does not deserve to be called a “wise woman.”

If such a woman were to insist on a female genital piercing, then she should be encouraged to buy the drug Diflucan. That drug is used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Unfortunately, it has not been proven effective against all genital infections. Why does Diflucan relieve the symptoms of a yeast infection, but not the symptoms of a bacterial infection, such as one might suffer following any type of piercing?

A woman who is thinking about getting a female genital piercing should understand the difference between a yeast infection and a bacterial infection. A yeast infection normally occurs when there is damage to the “good” bacteria that live in a woman’s vaginal region. Those bacteria restrict the growth of yeast in the woman’s vagina. They normally prevent to occurrence of a vaginal infection.

If, however, a woman must undergo either chemotherapy or radiation treatment, the fast growing cells in her body will be severely damaged. Bacteria grow rapidly, and so such treatments also damage any “good” bacteria in the body. After they damage the bacteria in the woman’s vaginal region, some yeast often manage to make a “home” in that part of the woman’s body.

Infections that might result from female genital piercing are not caused by yeast, or by “good” bacteria. They are caused by “bad” bacteria, bacteria that do not belong in the human body. The arrival of those “bad” bacteria causes a string of responses. Those responses demonstrate the body’s attempt to kill the invading bacteria.

If a woman who has had a genital piercing develops an infection, she could be a candidate for a female genital piercing photo. Such a photo could be used to warn other women about the potential dangers associated with a genital piercing. Such a photo could show the redness and swelling that accompany the development of a bacterial infection.

Were there to be an aggressive distribution of that photo, then a much smaller number of women would set out on a search for a particular health professional. A much smaller group of women would choose to seek out those health professionals who know how to perform a female genital piercing.
