SUMMER VAGINAL INFECTION ALERT

You probably didn't know it, but women are at MUCH higher risk for common vaginal infections during the hotter summer months....yeast infections, which are very common, are caused by yeast strains that are present in the air around us...These yeast are also present in the vagina of a majority of women.  In the absence of specific "triggers", they do not cause any problems....Add the appropriate "trigger", and subtropical climate with high humidity is a very common "trigger, and all of a sudden, those benign organisms are causing all kinds of symptoms...Heavy, thick white discharge and vaginal/vulvar itching are the most common symptoms...Vaginal bacterial infections are just as common as yeast infections...Again, they are caused by bacteria that are normally present and completely benign...add the appropriate triggers, and again, you guessed it - Infections occur...Just as with yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis is most common in hot, subtropical climates...Symptoms commonly include watery white or off-white discharge, burning and strong odor...


  
Obviously, it very important that you DON'T SELF-TREAT for these infections...You might not be treating for the actual infection that is present...Treating for an infection that is not there, could make the actual infection that is present much worse....Further there are no over the counter products that are effective for BV...And, over the counter yeast infection medications have succumbed to resistance by a majority of the yeast strains that are out there!...SO, take home message:  If you think you have either a yeast infection or a vaginal bacterial infection (BV), call your Ob/Gyn provider to schedule an appointment....Get it treated correctly the first time!

  1. Omg I'm so happy to share this!!! I've been thinking I've lost my mind and it was some mental case. I myself had my tubes tied after my 3rd child. I have a condition that makes having babies so hard on my body. About 6 months ago I too would feel something like "kicks" of course I thought I was out right crazy. I never spoke to anyone about what was going through. How could I? They'd think I was nuts!!! Well my periods have been getting so bad that I reached out to my best friend who also had the operation to see if she had experienced any symptoms with her periods since! Of course we were in the same boat. I broke down and told her I almost felt at times I was pregnant I felt so crazy just typing this out to her. I was beyond nervous she would think it was a nut case. To my surprise she also had similar symptoms. We both are researching what this could be. That's when I came across this website on Google of dr Itua Herbal Center. While scrolling through these comments I stumbled upon how he treated HIV/HHerpes also helped a woman to get pregnant with his herbal medicines. When I read what he had been going through I just broke down and cried for the longest time. Finally I got a help that I ever wanted I and my friend purchase Dr Itua herbal medicines and we both used it which was really effective it cure my cramp issues so I will recommend anyone going through some health issue to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center on E-Mail : drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or Whats-App +2348149277967 He cure HIV/Aids, Herpes, Cancers, And other stubborn disease make sure someone here talk to someone about this who is going through the same thing as us. Ty for sharing. I now know we're not alone!!!
