Vaginal infections are very painful. Symptoms of vaginal infection are excessive dryness, bad
discharge, vaginal odour, bad bleeding, itching or burning sensation. Sometimes due to vaginal
infection, there is also a problem of fever and sore throat. In some cases, it gets better on its own
and in some; it takes several weeks to get better. But have you noticed that once a vaginal
infection occurs, it keeps on happening again and again?
The thing to understand is that due to its frequent occurrence, your vaginal health gets badly
damaged. Obstetrician-Gynecologist (OBGYN), and Infertility Specialist Dr Tanushree Pandey
Padgaonkar has shared things related to vaginal infection on Instagram. She has told me what the
reason behind frequent vaginal infections is.
After all, why do vaginal infections happen again and again?
According to Dr Tanushree, one of the important reasons for this is the bad PH level of your
vagina. If it gets imbalanced due to some reason then the good bacteria in your vagina get
reduced. Like the intestines, the vagina also needs good bacteria so that its natural process can
continue.
For what other reasons cans vaginal infection increase?
We have told one of the biggest reasons, but apart from this, there are many other reasons which
increase vaginal infection. As....
External infection is where the disease is caused by an external object.
eating too much sugar
Using period products that do not suit you.
Wearing synthetic panties. Cotton panties should always be worn to maintain good
vaginal health. Always choose a fabric for the patty that allows the skin to breathe.
Not following proper intimate hygiene. Hygiene issues can not only be caused by the
partner but can also be caused by fingers during masturbation or can be caused by sex
toys.
You are getting too much stress about something or you are having problems with your
food and drink. Always eating unhealthy can also cause you this kind of problem.
Excessive vaginal cleaning can also be a reason. Vagina is a self-cleaning organ and if
you use external products excessively in it, then it can spoil the natural barrier.
What to do to cure a vaginal infection?
According to Dr Tanushree, first of all, you should keep in mind that extra cleaning of the vagina
will always spoil the PH level. The use of different types of products in the vagina kills the good
bacteria present inside it.
