Can you get infected by using more wet toilet paper? The urologist said so.

  Recently, a topic "Too much wet toilet paper will make you sick" appeared on the hot search list of Weibo, which triggered netizens’ attention to wet toilet paper.

  Wet toilet paper is a rising product in recent years. Because it is convenient to wipe and can be directly put into the toilet, it is more and more popular among consumers.

  Two days ago, some netizens posted that wet toilet paper would cause adverse reactions, and said that they were diagnosed with "urinary system infection" because of using wet toilet paper. So, can wet toilet paper be used? What should I pay attention to when using?

  Our reporter interviewed Duan Yue, chief physician of urology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Duan Yue said that so far, he has not received any cases of urinary tract infection caused by using wet toilet paper.

  In Duan Yue’s view, the wet toilet paper containing benzalkonium chloride has bactericidal effect. Generally speaking, it is mild and will not cause skin irritation, so it can be used for cleaning and disinfection in local privacy.

  In addition, wet toilet paper can be said to be the gospel of young people with hemorrhoids. "Ordinary dry paper towels are used to clean and wipe the anus, and the experience of patients with external hemorrhoids is not clean. Wet toilet paper can be cleaned more cleanly. "

  So, how to choose and use wet toilet paper? Duan Yue said that it should be no problem to find a regular manufacturer to see if there are any disinfectant ingredients such as benzalkonium chloride, and if there are corresponding national product standards.

  When using, if the toilet at home has drying conditions, you can dry it after using the wet toilet paper. If you go to the toilet outside, let it dry a little. If you are in a hurry, you can wipe it dry with a clean facial tissue. Our reporter Liu Dong
