More discussion on female hygiene....

Quote: strife to make it scent like the rose flower.



Vaginal infections occur when bacteria, funguses or other organisms grow uncontrolled. Some of these organisms already live in the vagina and are kept at healthy levels by coexisting with other organisms. Infectious organisms can also be introduced into the vagina by improper hygiene, unsafe sex, introduction of foreign bodies into our vagina and vulva.

These symptoms listed below are general signs and symptoms of infections, its left for a medical practitioner to know what is actually wrong.
1. Thick, cloudy or bloody discharge from the vagina
2. Pain or burning sensation when urinating
3.Heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding between periods
4.Painful, swollen clitoris
5.Painful bowel movements
6.Anal itching
7.Painful urination
7.Lower abdominal pain.
8.Pain during sexual intercourse in women.
9.Itchy rash around the vulva and vagina.
10. Strong vaginal odour.

The symptoms ain't limited to those listed above, once you notice any strange feelings see a medical practitioner immediately.
Some practices around the vulva and vagina gives room for infection as well, such practices should be done with utmost care or better still quit  the practices.
They include;

1. Use of harsh disinfectants and medicated soap for your genitals.
2. Saliva: you may wonder how and why? Either via oral sex or use of the saliva as a lubricant. The saliva contains healthy bacteria for the mouth but will likely infect the vagina.
3. Pubic hair issue is often argued, some say leaving it gives them infections while some said otherwise.
4. Use of tampons.
5. Use of unhygienic toilets.
6. Contraceptives can cause infections as well. E.g Condoms, IUD's and even spermicides.
7. Multiple sex partners.
8. Use of antibiotics.
9. Intake of excessive sugary food.
10.  Pregnancy.

This is to the men, it isn't always as a result of unhygienic practices your woman gets infected.  I hope to discuss that of men in my next post for tomorrow.
