🌼 Introduction
For women, vaginal health is an important part of overall wellness. A healthy vagina maintains its own natural balance of bacteria, mainly lactobacilli, which keep infections at bay. However, modern lifestyles — from excessive stress to poor hygiene, synthetic products, and antibiotic use — can upset this balance, leading to common issues such as:
Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
🦠
Yeast infections (candida) 🍞
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) 💧
Foul odour or unusual discharge 🌫️
Itching, burning, or discomfort 🔥
The good news is that natural remedies and preventive care can reduce these risks and promote long-term vaginal health without over-dependence on medicines.
