Feminine Health

Women’s health Flower Power is a complex area of health that encompasses physical, mental and social aspects of a person’s well-being. It is affected by factors including genetics, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, environment and culture.

Female health conditions include reproductive (conception, fertility, and pregnancy), gynecological issues, genital infections, menopause, and cancer. General health issues that are connected to sex are often associated with gender-based disparities, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, migraines and Alzheimer’s disease.

Vulva and Vaginal Hygiene

Fortunately, your vagina is built to self-clean, and the bacteria that live in it naturally help keep it healthy. However, some conditions can cause your vaginal odor, discharge or itchiness to be more noticeable and uncomfortable.

The most common of these is vaginitis, a type of inflammation caused by an infection or change in the normal balance of healthy bacteria and yeast. Other rare conditions may include a vaginal cyst or vaginal cancer.

How to Keep Your Vagina Healthy and Happy

It is important for all women to practice good eating habits and get adequate physical activity on a regular basis. These activities help control weight, boost energy levels, and help prevent certain health conditions.

Maintaining a healthy body weight can also help prevent or delay conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.

Staying hydrated helps prevent urinary tract infections.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) are also a concern for many women. These can cause pain during sex or urination, abnormal vaginal discharge or odor and genital warts or sores. For this reason, STI testing is recommended and avoiding sex with someone who has had these conditions is important.
