Dentistry: Things to Know

The vagina is not a nice place to look or have, nor is it a passive area waiting to be satisfied; it is a compact, integrated setting. It is a progressive system with built-in defenses designed to sustain a healthful balance, but it is subject to countless influences that could alter its balanced state. In the long term, unless you read a guide to yoni eggs, the vagina could be exposed to the effects of modern, stressful lifestyles, and many man-made products that nature never thought our delicate cells could handle. It is designed to handle a multitude of these influences, but sometimes it succumbs, leading to imbalance and general malaise when out of control.

Vaginal Ecology

Through understanding its ecology, you can treat your vagina better and keep it healthy by its natural supporting systems. If, despite your best efforts, the typical balance is upset and you get a vaginal infection (vaginitis), knowing how the ecosystem works will give you a chance to heal the situation and restore the environment. A typical vagina is always kept moist by its smooth, slippery, and tasty organic release. The smell and taste of a healthy vagina are soft, earthy, and slightly meaty, with a pleasant musky odor. A healthy vagina does not smell or taste bad. It’s full of warm aroma along with excellent pheromones, the chemicals of attraction that we don’t consciously feel.

Oily Goodness

Vaginal fluid comes primarily from the tissues lining the walls, which function as sweat glands that produce moisture for the inner mucous membranes. The remaining part of the juice contains small donations from various kinds of glands located in the cervix and near the vaginal opening. Some women are wetter or drier than others, just like some physiques have sleek skin or dry hair or sweat less.

The most important thing for you would be to figure out what is typical for you in terms of volume, color, texture, and smell. For women who have a regular fertility cycle, the pattern of change should be comparable each month. Most women are drier the week before their period. Prepartum women, nursing mothers, and post-menopausal women are drier and less changeable.

Vaginal Garden

A healthy vagina is full of friendly bacteria, primarily a particular strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus. These germs protect the vagina and keep it healthy in many ways. They do this by simply filling the space, like a lush flower garden, leaving no room for weeds. Lactic acid maintains the acid-base balance (called pH) in the contaminated vagina. Helpful germs would be the primary engineers of your anus ecology. When something triggers a change from the ideal, they are tasked with getting your ecology in line.

Many influences can lead to a decrease in great microbes. Sometimes, the imbalance seems to occur for no reason, but there are factors such as high stress, poor nutrition, bad “hygiene” clinics, or other aspects that affect the vaginal environment. One of the most common causes of the death of your flora routinely is taking antibiotics, which can destroy your “good guys” while doing their job of eliminating the bad guys that have caused disease elsewhere. This is just one of many reasons to be careful about taking antibiotics and only use them when it’s really necessary.

Suitable Temperature

Although the vagina is usually quite sensitive, at or slightly above normal body temperature (which can be very hot, almost 100o). Anything that generates and retains heat can contribute to yeast overgrowth and also breast dysfunction. Wear cotton panties, leggings, or socks made of natural fibers, cotton menstrual pads, and nothing at all at night (or when you’re ready to take them off). Keep your crotch fresh and you’ll be glad you did.
