For Ladies: Ten Commandments For A Healthy V*gina


A healthy v**ina is equivalent to a healthy woman. So, it is very important that all women should be concerned about their vaginal health. If you want to protect yourself from common yeast infections and vaginal odour, then follow these simple Ten Commandments to keep your v**ina healthy.
 

Never use soap – At times, the odour of your v**ina can be very overpowering embarrassing, but at these times, avoid cleaning your pubic area with soap or liquid cleanser. The v**ina can stay clean by itself, as our body has a system for it. Also, during menstruation, just wash it with water to maintain good hygiene.
 

Stay away from vaginal sprays – You might think that using a floral spray on your v**ina, will give it a sweet-smelling scent, but this could actually ruin the pH level of your v**ina and cause irritation and other problems.
 
 

Maintain good hygiene during your periods – For a healthy v**ina, it is very important to follow proper hygiene during menstruation. Never use your sanitary napkins for too long. It absorbs blood and if used for a longer duration it can cause bacteria build-up and lead to rashes and irritation.

Wear cotton panties – Choose cotton panties over other material as they dry quickly and also allows passage of air, which further helps in preventing yeast infections due to damp conditions. So, avoid fancy underwear made from fabrics like lace, silk or synthetic material.

Wear loose clothes – Wearing tight clothes like skinny pants usually traps moisture and can lead to yeast infection and rashes. So, it is very important to wear loose-fitting clothes.

Trim pubic hair – Maintain good vaginal health by regularly trimming your pubic hair. Excess hair around your v**ina can create a moist environment, which can cause bacteria to grow leading to infection.

Do kegel exercises – Kegel exercise will help to strengthen your pelvic muscles and also help you enjoy s*x. While you urinate, try stopping your urine midstream, by tightening your muscles for few seconds and then release them.

Drink plenty of water – The best way to keep your v**ina healthy is by drinking water at regular intervals. Water helps to throw out bacteria present in the body in the form of urine, and helps in boosting your vaginal health.—

Check strange vaginal behaviour – If you notice a strange, smelly vaginal discharge, excess itching or unusual colour then it is important that you treat these symptoms by consulting your doctor, in order to prevent it from getting worse.

Go for a Pap Smear – Since cancer is on the rise, it is best to prevent it rather than treat it. The best way to prevent cancer of the cervix is to take a pap smear test at least once a year or as advised by your doctor. This will save your life and keep your v**ina healthy.

 He revealed this after the weekly State Security Council meeting chaired by Governor Babatunde Fashola at the Lagos House, Marina.

 “We are not very happy about that and that is why we are saying it clearly that we will go after (the men) ourselves and I think that is a warning to other people that would want to disobey these laws, that if we can go after our men they should be prepared for that too,” Manko warned further.

Also responding to a question on importation and storage of fireworks during the festivities, the Commissioner said fireworks are items of restricted use adding that there are laws guiding the importations and usage of such items.
“The Council today agreed that anybody who wants to import these items into the country must follow the rules, must follow the laws because the security agencies will not allow what happened last year to come up again. Therefore, we are going to go after the importers of these items to ensure that they comply with the rules, with the laws, for both importation and usage,”,he said.
