Home remedies can be helpful but may not completely treat a true UTI.

The female anatomy is a set up for infections of the bladders. The bladder and its tubing, called the urethra, sit directly along the length of the vagina.

Since there is inflammation and tenderness in the bladder due to the infection, it’s best to wait 3 days, while you take the prescribed antibiotics, until you resume sexual activity.

The key is to know what your “normal” smells like. All of us with a vagina usually know that awkward feeling if a new and strange smell comes our way.

Most UTI’s are uncomplicated infections only involving the bladder and urethra, whereas complicated UTI’s involve the kidneys in women.

Anyone with a vulva and vagina needs skin care. Balance in life and balance in the vagina go hand in hand.

I like to think the vulva should have the same feminine hygiene ritual as we do for our face.

The vagina is equipped with over thirty organisms that help the pH balanced and free of infections.

The vagina is very sensitive to changes in your daily environment, anything that affects its pH balance, will affect the smell and consistency of discharge.
