As mentioned in the article \u201cYes, it is normal to have vaginal discharge\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a \u201cnormal\u201d vaginal discharge is clear and, depending on the period of the menstrual cycle, it can vary in both its consistency and quantity. For example, during ovulation, the discharge becomes <strong>thicker and whiter.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">These changes depend mainly on our vaginal flora, which regulates the flow through a series of healthy bacteria, such as <strong>Lactobacillus<\/strong>. The vaginal flora is actually in charge of protecting the vagina from possible pathogens that cause diseases and infections. In other words, the more balanced in the presence of these healthy bacteria, <strong>the healthier the vagina will be.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If the presence of healthy bacteria is poor, the vagina suffers from an alteration in the potential of hydrogen \u2013pH\u2013, causing a series of &#8220;imbalances&#8221; that are experienced <strong>in acidity and alkalinity.<\/strong> A neutral or healthy pH is when the level is equal to 7.0; an acid pH, less than 7.0; and an alkaline or basic pH, greater than 7.0. An altered pH cannot protect the vaginal flora from possible agents that cause infections, resulting in <strong>uncomfortable and painful symptoms.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-take-care-of-your-vaginal-flora\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>How to take care of your vaginal flora?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-40995 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"copa menstrual menstruaba\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/dd.jpg 484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Both flora and vaginal discharge are strongly influenced by our <strong>lifestyle and habits<\/strong>. From the use of hormonal contraceptives, certain sexual practices and the diet can be factors that intervene in the health of the vaginal flora.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In the case of diet, there are some foods that promote the diversity of healthy bacteria in the vaginal flora and, consequently, the health of your vagina. This does not mean that visits to the gynecologist can be avoided, especially when there are<strong> symptoms of infections<\/strong>, hypotonia, or hypertonia of the pelvic floor, among others. Meet the top 5 food to boost your vaginal flora:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Water.<\/strong> Drinking the right amount of water a day is the best way to keep the body hydrated and promote its optimal functioning for our health. This includes helping to preserve cervical mucus, facilitating lubrication of the area, and a regulated pH.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Yogurt<\/strong>. It is ideal for promoting a healthy intestinal flora, reducing the presence of bacterial infections. This is mainly because it helps restore vaginal pH balance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Cranberry juice:<\/strong> this ailment is rich in antioxidants, blueberry juices fight free radicals and toxins that cause disease. They help stabilize the natural pH, strengthening the immune response in both the urinary and vaginal systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Chia.<\/strong> It is a source of fiber and essential fatty acids, so they help eliminate toxins that are harbored in the colon. This allows the reduction of bacteria, such as Candida and other causes of vaginal infections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Nuts.<\/strong> In addition to calming hunger as snacks, they often relieve and prevent vaginal dryness. They are a source of vitamin E, which is essential for lubrication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Written By: <span style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\"><a style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/maria.jose.ca\/\">@maria.jose.ca<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Translated by: <span style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\"><a style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thaiispascual\/\">@thaispascual<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is essential to get healthy habits in favor of our vaginal flora, to pay attention to our sexual health. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1355,"featured_media":44429,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[625,601,630],"tags":[790,767,629,791],"class_list":["post-44377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en-2","category-eureka-cup-en","category-menstrual-health-en","tag-flora-vaginal-en","tag-menstruacion-en","tag-salud-menstrual-en","tag-vagina-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 -
