Women’s Health – 6 Ways To Keep Your Vagina Healthy!!!

1. Be sexually responsible. Maintain a mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who’s free of sexually transmitted infections. Practise abstinence if unmarried and be faithful if married.

2. Get vaccinated. Vaccinations can protect you from human papillomavirus (HPV) as well as hepatitis A and hepatitis B — serious liver infections that can spread through s*xual contact.

3. Practise good hygiene. Don’t douche or use perfumed soaps. Don’t use feminine sprays or scented tampons. If you use s*x toys, clean them after every use.

4. Do Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises can help tone your pelvic floor muscles. Simply tighten your pelvic muscles as if you’re stopping your stream of urine. Once you’ve got the hang of it, do at least three sets of 10 Kegel exercises a day.

5. Know your medications. Discuss medication use and possible vaginal side effects with your doctor.

6. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink and don’t smoke or use drugs. Alcohol and illegal drugs can cause s*xual dysfunction. Nicotine can inhibit s*xual arousal. If you’re under the influence, you’re more likely to take s*xual risks.

While not all vaginal problems can be prevented, regular checkups can help ensure that problems affecting your v**ina are diagnosed as soon as possible. Don’t let embarrassment prevent you from talking to your doctor about any concerns you might have about your vaginal health.
