Women's Health

I have come up to add some information about this particular topic because some friends and acquaintances who aren't nurses have been asking me about some private care. So I though it might be helpful to share some information that I have taught them through this
.
To all girls out there you might find this very helpful if you have this symptoms:
~ sever vaginal itching
~ no foul smelling discharge
~ no warts
~ have monogamous relationship
~ no signs of STD
~ no signs of Yeast infection
~ Not pregnant
~ OB GYN are also having a hard time diagnosing your symptoms

It could be Cytolytic Vaginosis. This is one of the newly arising problems that most women are actually having, It doesn't matter if your 15 cause it can actually affect girls as young as 6 years old. Some reports are actually younger. Other times its misdiagnosed as yeast.

Cytolytic vaginosis is caused when there are too many lactobacilli present in the vagina. (The usual problem is not enough!) The lactobacilli produce lactic acid and cv is the result of too many lactobacilli producing too much lactic acid. The vagina, which normally has a pH between 3.8 and 4.2, becomes overly acid.
This is the reason why when you try using vinegar to wash your privates, the itching gets worst, so as when you try to gulp in more yogurts.
So to have a resolution to this problem you may want to try this procedure:

Fill your sitz bath or container with about two inches of water (any temperature) and mix in 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda. Sit in the sitz bath or tub for 15 minutes twice a day. Do this two or three times in the first week. Then do it once or twice a week to keep the cytolytic vaginosis away. (Courtesy of PROBIOTICS: LOVE THAT BUG)

But mind you ladies, itching can also be normal if you are pregnant.
