Im pretty sure marami sa mga nanay dito o kahit hindi pa nanay ang nakaranas o currently suffering from Vaginal odor.
Ako mismo nakaranas din nito. Kahit noong dalaga pa ako (active or non-active sex life). Lagi akong nagtataka kung bakit meron akong vaginal odor kahit palagi naman akong naghuhugas at malinis naman ako sa katawan. Nagpapalit palit nako ng brand ng femwash, kahit medyo mahal binili ko but they only provide temporary good results. Nasubukan ko na rin magpa consult sa OBgyne and she said i have Bacterial Vaginosis, niresetahan ako ng gamot but still, bumabalik pa rin si VO.
Nakakahiya, nakakaconcious, nakakairita at nakakababa ng self confidence ang pagkakaroon ng VO.
Recently i did my own research because i desperately needed a solution.
Here are the common causes of BV or VO:
1. Madalas na paghuhugas gamit ang kahit na anong uri ng sabon/femwash
2. Paninigarilyo
3. Pagbubuntis
4. Multiple sex partners
5. Intake of strong antibiotics
Binalikan ko lahat ng mga ginagawa ko na pasok sa causes na yan. Number 1 and 2 hit me. Im a smoker nung dalaga pa ako and as I've mentioned, madalas akong gumamit ng mga kung ano anong product for my vaginal hygiene.
Nabasa ko rin na ang madalas na paghuhugas ay nakakatanggal ng hindi lamang bad bacteria, pati good bacteria tinatanggal nya rin kaya nagkakaroon ng imbalance causing bad bacteria to grow more and resulting to VO afterwards. And to avoid this, here are 3 TIPS BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE:
1. Replace the lost good bacteria by eating foods/drinks with lactobacillus (like yogurt, etc) what i did was drink YAKULT 2x a day for the first 2 week. pwede nyo nang gawing 3x a week afterwards.
2. Stop using femwash during regular days, tubig lang ang ipanghugas (wag hugasan ang loob ng butas, kaya nyang mag self-cleaning). Gumamit lang ng femwash during periods and before & after sex with your partner.
3. Use 100% cotton underwear, need din makahinga ng alaga natin 😂
Yes, tatlo lang yan. And it worked on me like a miracle. I feel so stupid kasi nagawa ko na yan nung buntis ako without realizing it, kaya pala mabango kepyas ko that time dahil dyan 😂 bumalik lang VO ko 3mos after kong manganak, and thankfully mabango na ulit ngayon 😁.
Remind ko lang po ulit, this is based on my own experience. Yes, i self-medicated without using any harmful products. And walang masama kung susubukan nyo 😊. I just wanted to share this to help other women who are suffering with VO. Sana makatulong to sa inyo.
Have a nice day ahead momshies! ❤️
