1. The so-called "toilet infections" are NOT
gotten from toilets! It is highly unlikely; the
probability is negligible! The closest medical
name is "Vaginal Infections", and some are
actually "Sexually-Transmitted Infections
[STIs]"

2. These infections are common in females, and
about 75% of ladies will have at least a yeast
infection in their lifetime. So, don't think you
are "alone" if you are infected.

3. The commonest infections of the so-called
"Toilet infections" are: Candidiasis (fungal
infection), Bacterial Vaginosis (bacterial
infection), and Trichomoniasis (protozoan
infection).

4. While Trichomoniasis is an STI, the other two are not directly linked to sex as a cause. So don't be quick to be suspicious if your
roommate or girlfriend has "toilet infections."

5. It is almost impossible to get an STI from the
toilet. The organism cannot survive long in
that environment and getting the organism in
the amount that will cause an STI is highly
unlikely, especially with the immunity of an
average person.

6. The commoner "Toilet infections" are caused, not by organisms from the toilet, but by normal organisms in the vagina! Normally,
they don't cause infections, but when they
increase in number, they cause the "Toilet
infections."

7. The mass increase in the number of these
normal vaginal organisms can be caused by:

*Douching or excessive washing of the vagina (for example, after sex, or menses, or
even while bathing). This disrupt the biochemical balance and causes fungal and bacterial over- growth.

*Poor hygiene, and moist/wet underwear ('pants').
And not keeping the area dry, especially after taking a bath; or wearing tight underwear. Fungus love any moist/wet environment!

*Excessive use of creams, perfumes, soaps, etc. in order to remove the normal vaginal odor could also affect the normal balance and
cause these infections.

*It could be due to hormones e.g from contraceptive pills, during monthly
ovulation, during pregnancy, from steroid-
drugs,etc.

*Using an antibiotic [to treat other infections],
especially a strong antibiotic, for a long period of time. This could remove the ''protective''
organisms, thereby altering the balance.

*Low immunity e.g. from emotional/physical stress, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, etc



Research and microbiology show that toilets are NOT implicated in these infections, despite the common notion and reference, even from
medical personnel. Stop blaming toilets!

Well true talk.
A lot of pple complain dt the various pharmaceutical creams dey used didn't wrk 4 dem.Here a solution to such chronic infections- a simple combination of a herb called golden seal with either echinacea or olive leaf extract will do the work. These herbs you can find @ any Wellness shop
