“With BV, there is an increase in ha.rmful bacte.ria and a decrease in good bacteria. BV is the most common va’ginal infection in women of child-bearing age.”
Part of the problem, says Family Physician, Dr. Grace Obong, is that during the day, women wear a variety of pa-nt!es and tight outfits that hardly allow their pr!vates to breathe. She says though it’s advisable and absolutely preferable to wear cotton pa.nties, many women still opt for polyester pa.nties, with the attendant heating up of the gen!tal area while the day lasts.
And as for those who may not like to go to sleep without having p@nts on, Obong recommends wearing of b0xers or pyjamas.
Bacter!al va’ginosis
Talking about the need to maintain the PH levels of the va’gina, experts at womenshealth.gov say the va’gina normally has a balance of mostly “good” b@cteria and fewer “h@rmful” bacter!a. However, a condition, called bacter!al va’ginosis, develops when the balance changes.
