A
healthy vagina leads to healthy sex. That sounds like a headline for the New
York Times. Sadly, I don’t think it will ever make it. But it’s true. When your
vagina is happy your sex life is happy. When your vagina is mad your sex life
fizzles.
Keeping
your vagina healthy is one of the most important things women can do for their
overall health. It means not having to deal with nasty discharge and vaginal
infections and it means learning about things you can do to keep the natural ph
balance of your vagina where it is supposed to be.
Some
dos and don’ts for a healthy vagina:
●
Do take a good look at yourself. Get a mirror and examine your
genitals. See what is normal for you. Become familiar with your vagina. It is
yours for life and if you know what is normal you are going to spot something
abnormal faster.
●
Do wash you genitals. Gently. With soap and water. That is all you
need.
●
Don’t put anything in your vagina that has chemicals in it. That
means no deodorant sprays, scented/deodorant pads or tampons.
●
Don’t douche. It is the worst thing you can do. It washes away all
the good bacteria, ruins the ph balance and leads to infection. If there is
already an infection it just pushes it up into the uterus and then you have an
even bigger problem.
●
Do pay attention to your menstrual cycle.
●
Do pay attention to any funny odor or discharge.
●
But DON’T try to fit it yourself by douching or using any of the
above mentioned products. Masking the smell is not the answer. You vagina is
not supposed to smell of roses or lilacs. If something doesn’t look right, feel
right or smell right chances are you have an infection and need to see a
doctor.
●
Do get checked for sexually transmitted infections if you are
sexually active.
There
are supplements you can take to help keep the vagina healthy. You can find them
at a health food store. Eating yogurt is also good for the vagina.
