Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) can be particularly troublesome during the summer months when heat and humidity are at their peak. Understanding the causes and symptoms of BV can help you manage and prevent this common condition.
What is Bacterial Vaginosis?
BV occurs when there is an imbalance in the vaginal flora, leading to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Symptoms include a fishy odor, grayish discharge, and irritation.
Summer-Related Causes
The summer heat, sweating, and prolonged wear of wet swimsuits can disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria in the vagina. Tight clothing and poor hygiene practices can also contribute to the development of BV.
Prevention Tips
- Wear breathable, cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothing.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to wet swimsuits and sweaty workout clothes.
- Practice good hygiene without using harsh soaps or douches.
- Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated.
