8 REASONS
WHY YOU NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH VAGINAL HEALTH.
1.0 You Noticed a Weird Bump
Who wouldn't freak out after seeing a lump or mark on their
privates? This could be so many things, but it's likely not serious. It could
be anything from an ingrown hair to a sebaceous cyst (a lesion under the skin).
Warm soaks are a good first line of defense, but you can also apply a little
over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream if it seems inflamed. If it persists or
hurts, check with your doctor as it may be a sign of an infection.
2.0 There's a Funky Smell
If there's an odor coming from your bikini line, trust us,
you'll know something is up.! Oops! who would tolerate an arwful smell coming
from your underwear. The problem is, this smell could have a ton of possible
causes, but you'll want to see your doctor no matter what. If it's a
foul-smelling discharge, it could be a bacterial infection like bacterial
vaginosis or trichomoniasis. In that case, you may need antibiotics to treat
it.
Another common
culprit when it comes to odor is a forgotten tampon or a stuck condom. Yes,
it's more common than you think, and your nose will definitely notice it. Don't
worry, your doctor can help fish it out.
3.0 You're Bleeding, and It's Not Your Period
If you're randomly spotting, it could just be a hormonal
imbalance from a missed birth control pill, though persistent spotting is
something to bring up with your doctor as it may be a sign of infection,
pregnancy, or a polyp on your cervix. If the bleeding happens after sex or
comes with a discharge, it could be an STD so you'll want your doctor to test
for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Of
course, sometimes if it was just one time after particularly rough sex, it's
probably nothing to worry about. though you need some medical checkups to
reduce possible infection to open bruises
4.0 You're Itchy
Feel like there are ants in your pants? A recurrent itch,
particularly with discharge, could be a sign of a yeast infection or bacterial
vaginosis. But if you've tried treating all that and still can't get rid of the
itch, it could be a simple skin reaction to something like your soap, a
feminine wash, or even your detergent. DO NOT wash vagina with soaps.
5.0 You've Got a Weird Discharge
As you can probably guess by now, an unusual discharge can accompany tons of different issues. But don't panic if this is a monthly thing; "Most women have a physiological baseline discharge that's supposed to be there. But if you notice a change in color, consistency, or odor, bring it up with your doctor. Discharges are sometimes normal because its one of the ways a vagina cleans itself. but its un usualness, should raise an eyebrow to your reproductive health.

6.0 It Hurts to Pee or Have Sex
Vaginal or vulva pain could be a sign of infection or STD,
so you'll want to check with your doctor if the feeling persists for more than
a day or two. If the pain just happened once or twice after sex, it may have
been from dryness—grab some lube and see if it makes a difference. some ladies
are allergic to condoms due to friction on their vaginal walls. this makes them
have pain and other discomfort. make sure you are ' wet' before having sex. if
you experience pain while peeing, consider seeing a doctor for UTI tests.
7.0 You're So Dry
Vaginal dryness may seem like something only older women
experience, but it doesn't discriminate as much as you think. In fact, dryness
can creep up after pregnancy or if you're taking certain medications like
antihistamines or antidepressants. If you're feeling dryer than the Sahara
desert, try an over-the-counter lubricant or see your doctor if that doesn't
help.
8.0 You Feel a Deep Pain
Deeper vaginal pain, especially during sex, could be a sign
of endometriosis or an ovarian cyst. Your doctor may perform a pelvic exam or
ultrasound to look for the cause. any discomfort in female reproductive system
starts with the only passage , and thats vagina. therefore if you have deep
pain, well its enough knowing your vagina is art risk too.

"Some may wash with perfumed soap and not notice any problems."
