With Debbie Simon
A New Year means new resolutions – for a lot of people that
means focusing on their health and working to work out more, eat better and
lose weight. We’re here to remind you that your vaginal health should be just
as important as keeping track of your cholesterol. Neglecting your hoo-hah can
lead to more than just embarrassing odors, it could result in infections and
could also mask more serious problems. You want everything in working order not
only for your overall well-being, but also because it can lead to a more
satisfying sex life. So here are a few tips to help you with your resolution to
take good care of your lady bits in 2017:
See your doctor –
Putting your heels in those stirrups is never fun, but regular cervical exams
(every three years for women ages 25-49) greatly increases your chances of catching
any problems early, and that can sometimes literally be the difference between
life and death.
Wear cotton undies
– Cotton breathes and absorbs moisture, making it the ideal cover up for your
lady bits.
Don’t spend all day
in your sweaty workout clothes – Getting a shower immediately after a
workout isn’t always doable, but putting it off too long can leave you worse
than just stinky. Sitting in sweat could cause a bacterial infection, so if a
shower isn’t in your immediate future, at least bring a change of clothes.
Speaking of exercise,
do your Kegels – We’ve talked before about the importance of working out
your pelvic floor muscles. Kegels can help with bladder control and prevent
serious conditions like uterine prolapse. And as an added bonus, strong pelvic
muscles mean stronger orgasms!
Eat more yogurt –
especially Greek yogurt, which has live cultures that boost good bacteria below
the belt
Go commando –
giving your lady bits a chance to breathe on occasion can be good for you.
Plus, whispering those magic words in your partner’s ear: “I’m not wearing any
underwear” is pretty much guaranteed to lead to fun sooner rather than later.
Use condoms – you
should be doing this anyway, for all the obvious reasons, but a study by
researchers at the Beijing Friendship Hospital found that condoms provide a
barrier that keeps semen from affecting your natural pH level.
DON’T use douche
– Your vagina actually does a fine job of cleaning itself, no assistance
necessary. Using a douche can alter your healthy pH levels, not to mention
studies have shown using such products can lead to increased risk of
infections, pelvic inflammatory disease and STDs.
