Is it necessary to rinse the vaginal area after urination? As a woman brought up in india I was not taught to rinse or wipe after peeing.

Not wiping or washing the vagina after peeing can cause the panties to get wet, which can not only lead to bad odour but put you at risk of vaginal infections. Hence, it is always advised to rinse the area. It counts in your hygiene.
