A healthy vag ina is something every
woman should care about. The healthy vag ina is acidic and has high
amounts of useful bacteria to keep balanced pH values and help in the
fight against bacteria.
A small amount of discharge is also a
sign of a healthy vag ina. Disruption of the normal conditions could
lead to infections and diseases
Warning and symptoms of an unhealthy vag ina:
– Itching and burning in the vag ina and vulva
– Plenty of discharge
– Inflamed and painful mucous membrane
– Appearance of lesions
– Bad smell
– Bleeding, especially after se x
– Dry vag ina
You can keep the vag ina healthy if you follow these tips:
Maintain the pH balance without douching: Douching
is harmful to the vag ina. It interferes with the pH values by reducing
its acidity and making it vulnerable to infections. The normal pH
levels are between 3.8 and 4.5. If your vag ina smells strong visit a
doctor, because douching will just mask the smell and won’t resolve the
issue.
Stay away from junk food: Fast food hinders the pH balance. Sugar, carbs and fruit drinks can all cause yeast infections.
Consume a healthy diet: Healthy
and nutritious food is a must if you want a healthy vag ina and body.
Yogurt and cranberry juice can help with yeast infections, and soy food
can help with a dry vag ina.
Practice safe se x: Safe
se x and using cond oms protects you from STDs, some of which are
incurable. Oral to vag inal or a nal to vag inal s ex requires a new
cond om to stop transferring bacteria into the vag ina.
Cut down on smoking: Smoking
affects the lungs, but also the vag ina – the nicotine hinders the
bacterial equality and causes strong smell and blocked pores in the
vulva.
Keep away from antibiotics: If
possible, don’t take any antibiotics. They can have a chain response
which leads to yeast infections. If you must take them, consume kefir,
yogurt and fermented foods in general to soothe the yeast.
Treat the infections right from the start: Yeast
infections, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis are the three most
common vag ina issues. Not treating them on time can cause serious
health issues. Treat them with topical or oral drugs.
Choose your underwear carefully: Vag inal skin is sensitive so wear a 100% cotton underwear.
See a gynecologist: Regular
gynecologist checkups are crucial for good vag inal health. The first
exam should be on 21 years or in period of three years after your first
se x. Any changes in the vag inal cells can be noticed by Pap smears
performed by a gynecologist.
Use only water to wash it: It’s very important to only use water for washing your vag ina. Do not use any hygiene products.
Choose the soap carefully: Use soaps with olive oil – they won’t dry the skin or distort the pH levels.
