Similarly genetalia hygiene tool will greatly affect the general health of genetalia tool. Cervicitis can be caused by gonococcal (GC) as one of sexual infections. In the infection after a miscarriage and birth can be caused by staphylococcus and streptococcus. Although organ genetalia have defense in depth, infection can occur when the immune system decline, or the ability of infection is high (as in a bad personal hygiene). The entry of the infection can occur through injury which is the entrance channel and the outer genetalia middle and upper parts, which occurred at the time of birth or medical acts that cause injury, or occur because of sexual intercourse. This study aims to determine the relationship between the Vulva hygiene with the incidence of cervicitis. This study used correlation designs that are analytic cross sectional sample of as many as 64 people taken by purposive sampling. The instrument used was kusioner and observation sheet. The data was collected in June 2011. Data were analyzed using Chi Square formula ( 2) with a standard error of 5%.
The results of this study show that the behavior of vulvar hygiene in women of childbearing age as much as 28.1% unfavorable. Cervicitis incidence of 31.2%, and no significant association between vulvar hygiene with the incidence of cervicitis with significance (P) = 0.000. Researchers suggest that WUS attempt such a way as to maintain the cleanliness of the vulva, especially at times of menstruation, or in women who have given birth more than 2 times.
