Ladies, we all want to be fresh downstairs but excessive cleaning and unnatural chemicals can harm the natural bacterial balance of your vagina and cause infection. So set that fruity scented product back on the shelf and go for the natural, unscented soap or products that are specially made for therapeutic and intimate hygiene.
4. Bad smells due to the food you eat
No, you’re not a potato just because you had a few fries, but it is true that the scent of our lady parts can often be affected by what we eat. So, no you’re not crazy next time you think you smell like pineapple or cinnamon because bad food can definitely cause a sour scent.
3. The danger of STIs or STDs
Worldwide, more than one million people contract an STD every day, so it’s important to take this matter seriously, and see a doctor from time to time.
Many infections go unnoticed because they don’t have immediate symptoms. Other infections have symptoms like itchiness, burning, bumps, warts, or stinging during urination — which can all be symptoms of an STI, but are not sure signs.
2. The problem caused by ingrown hairs
It’s considered attractive in many cultures to be hairless downstairs, but waxing, plucking, and especially shaving can cause ingrown hairs.
The best way to solve ingrown hairs is to stop removing the hair immediately. Then, soak in a warm bath and gently rub the affected area with a cloth to help remove dead skin cells and loosen the trapped hair.
1. The risk of vulvodynia
If you suffer from vulvodynia, then you know it’s not all in your head. It is somewhat of a mystery to medical professionals and is defined by a burning or stabbing pain around the vulvar opening. It might often occur during exercising or intimate activities. Normally it is caused by involuntary tightening.
A warm bath in Epsom salt and an ice pack can help to ease the pain. If symptoms are continuous, it’s best to see a gynecologist so that they can help you create a treatment plan.
