Intimate hygiene, as the name rightly suggests, is all about keeping your privates clean and hygienic. Many women don’t know the difference between intimate and regular hygiene, and fail to follow the basic rules to maintain their vaginal health.

Clear, white vaginal discharges are normal. There are certain glands in the cervix that produce a natural lubricant, which moves down your vagina, helping it remain moist and healthy. Put simply, this vaginal discharge is your vagina’s natural way of cleaning itself and an indication that it is perfectly healthy.

However, if the discharge is smelly, of a different colour (like yellow or green) and is causing itching and soreness, chances are high that it might be due an infection. Consult a Gynaecologist immediately in case the discharge is foul-smelling, itchy or blood-stained.

Your vagina, in terms of pH, is more acidic than the rest of your body. This helps maintain good bacteria like lactobacilli and prevent the growth of bad. You need to follow good intimate hygiene practices to ensure that you do not upset the vaginal pH balance and in turn avoid vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV).
