Is This Why Your Vagina Smells?
By Naweko San-Joyz
Before you curse, Wanda, let me offer you these tips for vaginal health to use at you own
discretion:
-
The vagina needs to breathe, so let it. Wear pantyhose less often. Use knee-highs or thigh-highs
instead.
-
Wear cotton underwear instead of synthetic underwear.
-
Use condoms during sex. Even though the theory that sex can cause a vaginal infection remains
contested, use a condom is a preventative until the infection gone.
-
Add one teaspoon of boric acid or a half-cup of hydrogen peroxide to two quarts of warm water. (For
the boric acid to mix well you need to make sure the water is warm). Use the boric acid or hydrogen peroxide douche for two weeks and
stop. The boric acid and hydrogen peroxide should increase the amount of lactic acid within the vagina. This increased amount of
lactic acid within the vaginal helps restore the proper bacterial balance within the vaginal and reduces the chances of
re-infection.
-
Eat less sugar so that you don’t feed the yeast.
-
See a doctor if you still have doubts. The Mayo Clinic Women's “HealthSource” newsletter has cautioned
women against hastily self-diagnosing vaginal problems and labeling every smelly vagina issue as a “yeast infection”. This may not
allows be the case.
Ok, I hope you smell better now and if in doubt, check it out.
