Some women use a baby product to look after their own body..

This is one way to reduce moisture, friction, or smell in the intimate area, writes MedicalNewsToday.

A previous study identified a possible association between a powdered product and cancer. Now, specialists from the US National Institute of Health have studied in detail the effect of powder on female reproductive organs.

The study was based on data from more than 250 thousand healthy women. 39% of participants used baby powder for the genital area, 10% of them used the product for a long time.

By the end of the experiment, 2186 women developed ovarian cancer. Taking all the data into account, the researchers did not reveal a statistically significant relationship between the use of powder in the genital area and the risk of ovarian cancer.

However, experts emphasize:

the powder can enter the affected areas of the organs and cause irritation and inflammation. And in patients with blocked fallopian tubes and a removed uterus, the product generally does not have physical access to the ovaries.

The authors of the study advise caution in using a cosmetic product.. Specialists are planning a series of studies taking into account different types of funds and additional data on participants..
