Do you know there are several common symptoms of vaginal infections that affect our bodies? Let’s take a look at these symptoms and tips for preventing them in this guide.
One common symptom of vaginal infections is a change in discharge and Itching, irritation, or redness in the vaginal area are also key signs.
A burning sensation during urination or intercourse can be a sign of a vaginal infection and persistent pain or discomfort in the pelvic region or during sex can signal an infection.
An unpleasant or fishy smell from the vaginal area is another indicator of infection.
Use mild, unscented soap and water to clean the vaginal area. Avoid douching as it can disturb the natural balance of bacteria and increase infection risk.
Opt for cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes to keep the area dry and reduce moisture buildup, which can foster bacterial growth.
Refrain from using scented tampons, pads, or sprays, as these can irritate the sensitive vaginal tissues and disrupt the natural balance.
Caution: Consult a healthcare professional for advice if you experience symptoms of vaginal infections and follow recommended prevention tips.
