HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

What's pH got to do with it?

 

 

The pH scale measures the relative acidity of a certain substance.  Maintaining a standard pH allows organisms to function properly in a certain environment. A healthy vagina is slightly acidic with a pH of 4.5 or less. When your vagina stays at this level, that means there is a healthy balance of good bacteria and yeast living there—and bacteria and yeast are what keep your vag clean and healthy.

 

To help keep the pH level around 4.5, you should clean your vulva with warm water. You do not need to use soap—your vagina cleans itself, so it doesn’t need any outside help on that front.

I have a question that I cant seem to find the answer to.I get hair bumps "down there".They keep coming back and are irratating.Is there anything i can do to stop them from popping up?

Hey girl,

You might get ingrown hairs from shaving, so try shaving in the direction the hair grows to avoid irritation.

i've used a tampon but twice ive cut the bottom of my vagina and it burns when i pee,how can i make the burning go away.


Hey girl,

It's normal to have trouble when you are first using a tampon, but if you are feeling a burning I would talk to your mom about seeing a doc to be on the safe side!

This is kind of a weird question, but um how do i wash down there when I'm on my period? Like is there a special kind of soap or something, cause I change my pads regularly but sometimes I can still smell it....
thanks (:

MOD!
I'm in a very sticky situation. My boyfriend and I had sex... More than once. With a condom and he pulled out. But I want to tell my mom that I want birth control. I'm okay with asking my mom to get the pill. I'm just nervous about going to the doctors? Like what do they do/ask? If they ask if I'm a virgin, and I lie, would it change anything? Thanks!

 

You should tell your doctor the truth. They ask for medical reasons so unless you tell them the truth, they won't be able to make sure you're 100% healthy. So I suggest you tell the doctor the truth if they ask you. Its the best way to be as healthy as possible. Good luck! xoxo kerra
