[color=#336666]Vaginal health is an important part of a
woman’s overall health. Vaginal
problems can affect your fertility, desire
for s*x and ability to reach climax.
Ongoing vaginal health issues can also
affect other areas of your life, causing stress or relationship problems and
impacting your self-confidence.

What affects vaginal health? The vag.ina is a closed muscular canal
that extends from the vulva — the
outside of the female private part area
— to the neck of the uterus (cervix).
Various factors can affect your v*gina,
some modifiable and some not. They include -

1. Unprotected Love Making: You might contract a sexually transmitted infection
if you have unprotected s*x.

2. Aggressive Love Making or pelvic fracture: Forceful s*x or an injury to the pelvic area can result in vaginal trauma.

3. Certain health conditions: Diabetes and Sjogren’s syndrome — an
autoimmune disorder — can cause
vaginal dryness.

4. Medications and feminine-hygiene products: Prolonged use of antibiotics increases the risk of a vaginal yeast
infection. Certain antihistamines can
cause vaginal dryness. Superabsorbent
tampons can lead to toxic shock
syndrome — a rare, life-threatening
complication of a bacterial infection.
5. Birth control products: Spermicide and NuvaRing (vaginal ring) can cause
vaginal irritation. Using a diaphragm or
contraceptive sponge might pose a risk
of toxic shock syndrome.

6. Pregnancy and childbirth: If you become pregnant, you’ll stop
menstruating until after your baby is
born. During pregnancy, vaginal
discharge often increases. Vaginal tears
are relatively common during childbirth.
In some cases, an episiotomy — an incision made in the tissue between the
vaginal opening and anus during
childbirth — is needed. A vaginal
delivery can also decrease muscle tone in
the v**ina.

7. Psychological issues: Anxiety and depression can contribute to a low level
of arousal and resulting discomfort or
pain during s*x. Trauma — such as s*xual
abuse or an initial painful s*xual
experience — also can lead to pain
associated with s*x.

8. Getting older: The v**ina loses elasticity after menopause — the end of
menstruation and fertility.

9. Hormone levels: Changes in your hormone levels can affect your v**ina.
For example, estrogen production
declines after menopause, after
childbirth and during chest-feeding. Loss
of estrogen can cause the vaginal lining
to thin (vaginal atrophy) — making s*x painful.[/color]
