Having a healthy vaginal pH balance is crucial for overall vaginal health. It’s essential to be aware of the factors that can throw off your pH balance, such as menstruation, menopause, sex, tight clothing, unclean sex toys, unclean fingers, wearing underwear during sleep, douching, and even certain foods. By making simple lifestyle changes like limiting meat consumption, going commando at bedtime, and ensuring cleanliness during sexual activities, you can help maintain a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in your vagina.
If you find that these lifestyle changes are not helping to restore your pH balance, it’s important to consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. Keeping track of any changes in discharge, odor, or itching can help your doctor assess the situation more effectively. Remember, it’s normal for your body to react and sometimes require extra effort to restore balance.
