Answer to Question 1

Although many women might believe that it is necessary to thoroughly wash the vagina with soap or various fragranced cleaning products, this is not true. In fact, these products are extremely drying and can strip beneficial oils from the vagina, leading to irritation, dryness, or both. Frequent bubble baths can also contribute to vaginal irritation. Experts recommend using only water to rinse out the vaginal area. By spreading the labia, the clitoral area can be gently rinsed.

Answer to Question 2

Although not as common as uterine or breast cancer, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system because it invades the body silently, with few warning signs or symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage (American Cancer Society, 2010). Because the ovary floats freely in the pelvic cavity, a tumor can grow undetected without producing many noticeable symptoms (i.e., there is little pressure on other organs).
