- Track your period – it is not bad to do this. Sometimes, an irregular period has underlying causes such as certain health problems.
- Wash properly – when you say properly, it doesn’t mean you have to clean it throroughly as this can affect your pH balance. Rinse your area with water to remove the harmful bacteria as per a blog from Texas Children’s hospital.
