DF has an op on Tuesday she's having stents in urethra to help with kidney stones. She went for pre-op appointment on Thursday and apparently was "advised" to ensure she showers/shaves before attending and they gave her a bottle of hibi scrub and two wide tooth razors to use. Maybe a little TMI but she said she's going to have the cleanest floof in the land come Tuesday morning. I was horrified and said surely they haven't told you to use that to clean down there and she was quite adamant that this was her understanding although never actually said not to use it on genital area. I know hibi scrub is anti bacterial wash but surely if she uses that 1. It's bound to sting to buggery. 2. Aren't our floofs meant to be self cleaning and have our own (hopefully in most cases) "good" bacteria and that would kill off your own flora and possibly cause all other kinds of issues?
She thinks I'm being silly to be shocked, I haven't had thrush for about 30 years and even then looking back it was more than likely down to over cleaning/using wrong products etc. But I still remember the pain.
