Bacterial Vaginosis - how you can help yourself?
😌 There are many things you can do to help reduce the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis!
🧴 The advice is largely based on avoiding scented products, shampoos, soaps etc. when cleaning down below. This is because these chemicals can upset the pH and natural flora of the vagina and make BV more likely to develop.
🌊 That's why the advice is to use plain soap and water.
👘 Also avoid using strong detergents when washing your clothes, particularly your underwear.
🚬 And finally, stopping smoking can massively reduce the risk of developing not just BV, but also many other health conditions!
