Takeaways

• 😀 Vaginas are unique and have their own natural scent, look, and discharge, so it's important to understand your own body and not compare it to others.
• 😀 A healthy vagina is self-cleaning, and normal discharge is usually clear or milky with a mild scent. Changes in discharge around your menstrual cycle are common.
• 😀 Discharge that is green, very yellow, or chunky could indicate a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV).
• 😀 Yeast infections are common and occur when the balance of yeast and bacteria in the vagina is disrupted, leading to symptoms like itching and irritation.
• 😀 BV can occur due to changes in vaginal bacteria, which can be triggered by activities such as unprotected sex or douching, which should always be avoided.
• 😀 A strong, fishy odor coming from your vagina is a sign that something may be wrong. If the smell persists even after showering, it’s important to address it.
• 😀 Drinking 4-6 glasses of water a day can help alleviate mild odors, but if the odor persists, further action may be needed.
• 😀 Boric acid suppositories are a natural remedy to treat yeast infections and BV by restoring the proper acid balance in the vagina. They are effective when used overnight.
• 😀 Probiotics, like the Garden of Life 50 billion probiotic, are essential when using boric acid suppositories to maintain healthy vaginal flora.
• 😀 Urinating before and after intercourse helps flush out germs and bacteria, promoting better vaginal health. It’s also important to practice safe sex to avoid STIs and STDs.
• 😀 Using tea tree oil in a bath can help treat or prevent yeast infections and BV due to its strong anti-fungal properties.
• 😀 Waxing is recommended over shaving as it removes hair from the root, reducing ingrown hairs and other irritations. Regular exfoliation and the use of 10 Skin can help with ingrown hairs and scarring.
• 😀 A special drink containing unsweetened cranberry juice, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and lime can help balance your vaginal pH and improve taste, particularly before intimate encounters.
