It is well known: women, unlike men, must have impeccable personal hygiene in order to avoid health problems, which can sometimes be very serious. A healthy vagina is characterized by a balanced level of acid and bacteria that help fight infections and restore the correct pH of the vaginal flora. This must be 4.5 and this acidity helps protect the flora from all kinds of microbes or infections.
The vagina is known to secrete a liquid called vaginal mucosa in small quantities, exactly like saliva in the mouth. The goal is to wash, clean and fight bad bacteria. To know if your vagina is in good or bad health, we give you some symptoms and warning signs.
Symptoms:
Abnormal bleeding (other than menstruation)
Unpleasant odors
Large amounts of fluid secretions
Inflammation, red color, and painful mucous membrane
Burning sensation and itching in the vagina and vulva
Abnormal vaginal dryness
Presence of small lesions
Bleeding during or after sexual intercourse
To restore your vagina to iron health, simply follow and apply these tips to the letter:
1 – Avoid junk food, fast food, and anything that disrupts your pH balance
Completely banish junk food, sugars, fats, sodas, and processed foods from your eating habits. These foods are enemies of your vagina and your health in general because they cause the body's acid-base imbalance. For example, sugar is one of the most acidifying foods.
2 – Get your body used to eating right again
We are what we eat! It is well known. Your intimate health also depends on what you eat. Get your body used to eating only natural foods. Yogurt, preferably goat's milk, and Cranberry juice are foods that best treat and promote the recovery and good health of your vagina. Thanks to its richness in probiotics, yogurt ensures that the pH level is good and fights against yeast infections. As for cranberry, it balances the pH level in the vagina and relieves the pain of urinary tract infections.
3 – Protecting yourself also means knowing how to choose the right contraception
Make sure you protect yourself during sexual intercourse. To do this, do not hesitate to use a condom, it is the safest way to protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, syphilis or fungi.
4 – Too much cleanliness kills cleanliness!
Contrary to what one might think, washing too much would be very harmful to the health of your vagina. Indeed, this weakens your immune system, disrupts the natural pH of your vagina, reduces its acidity and thus promotes the installation and proliferation of bacteria. Washing twice a day is more than enough.
5 – Be careful with soap!
The use of soaps is harmful to the health of the vagina. Of course, these products eliminate unwanted odors but they affect the vaginal microflora making it more sensitive to infections. To wash yourself, use just water because the vagina cleans itself.
6 – Antibiotics to ban! And quickly!
If you consume antibiotics, stop doing so, it weakens your natural immune system. If you are obliged to consume them, accompany your diet with natural ferments, yogurts and other foods containing bacteria good for the body to replenish your vaginal flora and rebalance its pH. 7 – A quick trip to the gynecologist from time to time wouldn’t hurt
Women must be monitored by a specialist regularly and diligently even if they don’t suffer from any genital problems. Even young girls should go for a consultation. Seeing a gynecologist helps ensure that your genital system and your vaginal health are functioning properly.
8 – Stop smoking!
We can’t say it enough, cigarettes kill but before they damage your genital system. Cut down on cigarettes until you stop completely. Nicotine and tar, in addition to clogging the pores of the vagina, cause bacteria to proliferate.
9 – Treat as quickly as possible
If you suffer from an infection or vaginal mycosis, you must consult a gynecologist as quickly as possible. The sooner you do so, the more likely you will be cured.
10 – Choose your clothes wisely
