Here Are Some Tips To Help You

• One

Eat lots of yogurt, if possible. Yogurt is one of the most essential food that you should eat to achieve a healthy vagina. The reason for this is because of an important ingredient called acidophilus which is present in yogurt. This ingredient is also a bacteria which is present in your vagina. However, this bacteria is a 'friendly' bacteria which keeps 'unfriendly' bacteria out of your reproductive systems. In a healthy vagina, this bacteria keeps the vaginal environment acidic which works to keep 'bad' bacteria at bay.

• Two

If you experience a strong vaginal odor , see your doctor. While a healthy vagina has a slight odor, a strong odor may indicate an infection.

• Three

If you have a vaginal discharge other than the normal thin white discharge that most women have, then you also need to see your doctor. For example, some women experience a greenish vaginal discharge which can be a sign of cervical disorder, while a vaginal discharge which is brown in color, can be a sign of vaginitis.

• Four

Wear loose cotton underwear. Underwear which is tight and made of synthetic fabric can make things get a little steamy down there which may result to vaginal odor, however, loose cotton underwear allows for good air flow.

• Five

If you suffer from a recurring candida yeast infection or other types of vaginal infections, try to find home remedies to treat yourself and don't overuse antibiotics. overuse of antibiotics can weaken your immune system and can lead to even more vaginal infections. For example, in the case of Yeast candida, you may need to change your diet and follow a candida yeast diet which involves eliminating all sugar and many processed food from your diet. It may not be easy but it is a small price to pay for what would be a lifetime of health problems.

• Six

Eat a healthy diet. It should act as a no surprise that what is good for your whole body is also good for your vagina. And of course, the opposite is also true, what is bad for your whole body is also bad for your vaginal health. If you eat a diet high in sugar, fat and processed foods, then this can also lead to poor vaginal health and frequent infections.
