VAGINA




The vagina is a fibromuscular tubular tract
leading from the uterus to the exterior of
the body in female placental mammals and
marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds,
monotremes, and some reptiles. Female insects
and other invertebrates also have a vagina,
which is the terminal part of the oviduct.
The Latinate plural "vaginae" is rarely used
in English.

The word vagina is quite often used colloquially
to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally;
technically speaking, the vagina is a specific
internal structure. In humans, the passage leads
from the opening of the vulva to the uterus (womb).
It lies midway between the anal tract and the
urethra.

SECTION 2



VULVA




The vulva has many major and minor
anatomical structures, including:

labia majora,

mons pubis,

labia minora,

clitoris,

bulb of vestibule,

vulval vestibule,

greater vestibular glands,

lesser vestibular glands,

opening of the vagina.



Development occurs during several phases,
chiefly during the fetal and pubertal
periods of time. As the outer portal of
the human uterus or womb, it protects its
opening by a "double door": the labia majora
(large lips) and the labia minora (small lips).
The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, sustaining
healthy microbial flora that flow from the
inside out; the vulva needs only simple washing
to assure good vulvovaginal health, without
recourse to any internal cleansing.

The vulva has a sexual function; these external
organs are richly innervated and provide pleasure
when properly stimulated. In various branches of
art, the vulva has been depicted as the organ that
has the power both to "give life" (often associated
with the womb), and to give sexual pleasure to
humankind.

The vulva also contains the opening of the female
urethra, and thus serves the vital function of
passing urine.

GYNAECOLOGY




Gynaecology is the branch of medicine
dealing with the diagnosis and treatment
of the diseases and disorders associated
with the female reproductive organs.

Regular examinations are necessary to
detect any abnormal changes in the
vulvar region.

What Are the Different Types
of Female Hygiene Products?



Most female hygiene products are designed
to help women manage their menstrual flow
as well as their concerns about natural
vaginal discharge and odors.



Various devices, including:

sanitary pads,

tampons,

menstrual cups,

catch and retain
menstrual blood.



Many companies also sell scented products,
including washes, sprays, and douches, that
supposedly counteract vaginal odor. Female
hygiene products for menstruation come in
many shapes, sizes, and levels of absorbency
to meet the needs of the women who use them.

During menstruation, women bleed vaginally
from three to seven days. Female hygiene
products intended for use during menstruation
work to catch this blood and keep it from
staining clothing and causing discomfort.

As menstrual blood also has an odor, the
absorbent materials used to make menstrual
products are designed to contain that odor.
Sanitary pads, sometimes known as sanitary
napkins, typically attach to a woman's
underwear by way of adhesive. Some sanitary
pads have wings that envelop the entire crotch
of a woman's underwear to protect against
staining and leaking.

VULVOVAGINITIS




Teen girls or
menopausal women,


vulvovaginitis irritating vaginal itch,
troublesome vaginal burning causes
emotional trauma to women of all ages.
Women are more prone to urethral or
vaginal infections at one point or
another in their lives.

So, feminine hygiene is a very important
aspect of a woman's life. If compromised,
it can lead to serious consequences.
Understand the importance of paying
attention to vaginal areas and the feminine
hygiene it demands just like any other part
of the body.



Certain vaginal facts


Female genitals consist of skin folds (outer
and inner lips), clitoral hood, the clitoris,
and the openings to the urethra and the vagina.


Vagina is inhabited by a multitude of microscopic
organisms.

The vagina's acidic environment prevents one
species overpowering another, and inhibits
infection.

Changes that occur with any vaginal infection
changes - smell immediately.

Vaginal health is determined by its smell.

Smell of vagina and it being infected are
directly related to a woman's lifecycle,
her weight and diet.

Following certain basic rules on feminine
hygiene can prevent infections.

IMPORTANCE
OF
FEMININE
HYGIENE




Research on feminine hygiene and internal
cleanliness indicate that women give more
importance to outward appearance.

Internal cleanliness is hardly given its
due attention and care. So much, that women
are ready to sacrifice food before cosmetics.
It is beauty over food and feminine hygiene.

A look into the female life cycle and the
changes the vagina is subjected to best
describes the importance of feminine hygiene.
During the entire female life cycle, the
vagina undergoes seven distinct stages. They
are the fetus, the newborn stage, the child,
the adolescent, the pregnant mother, the
post-childbearing years and lastly, the
menopausal woman. During these periods and
beyond, the vagina is subject to various
changes.

These changes may open unique challenges that
need attention in the interests of feminine
hygiene.

Vaginal itch, vagina burning or vulvovaginitis,
almost any challenging issue related to vagina
can be kept at bay if the vagina is healthy.
The first and foremost is to have a healthy
vagina. In order to have a healthy vagina, a
woman requires personal maintenance.

MOST
COMMON
CAUSES
OF
VAGINAL
DISCHARGE



10 Most Common Causes Of Vaginal Discharge


A vaginal discharge (leukorrhea) is normal
in certain amounts in healthy women, this
being the way by which the vagina cleans
itself and maintains a state of equilibrium.
So, when the vagina is healthy it is kept
“in shape” just by these secretions, perfectly
normal.

The secreted fluid has a slight smell, a milky
consistency, a cloudy-white or transparent color,
and when dried the linen acquires a yellowish hue.
The amount secreted varies with the menstrual
cycle and from woman to woman.



Factors that can change the
consistency and appearance
of secretions


Menstrual cycle

Emotional stress

Pregnancy

OTC products
(very popular drugs, which
require no prescription
analgesics / sedatives,
drugs for stomach pain,
heartburn or hormonal drugs)

Sexual arousal

Breastfeeding

Ovulation

Certain diets



Other factors that can negatively influence
the pH of the vagina and cause infections

are:


gels for intimate hygiene,

soaps,

antibiotics,

pregnancy,

diabetes or the existence
of other infections.



Every woman has her own “pattern” of vaginal
secretions, during a menstrual cycle. Due to
the fact that there can be differences that
does not necessarily mean abnormality,to detect
the normality or abnormality, it is much easier
to track the change in “pattern”. And it is easy
to determine if the vaginal discharge is normal
or not by knowing how a vaginal discharge must
not be.

A
VAGINA




vagina size vary in differnt time


When your vagina is relax the vaginal wall
collapse to each other. The diameter is less
than one inch and the length will be around
3 1/2 to 4 inches. However the size changes
when you are ready for intercourse. At that
time the diameter of your vaginal is not the
same throughout the vaginal tunnel.

The narrowest part will be the opening of
vagina and wider as it go deeper in to the
vagina. Usually the front part of vagina has
a size of one and a half inches. As we go
deeper in to the vagina, the diameter is
larger. The backend of vagina usually has
a diameter of 2 1/2 inches. The length of
vagina also changed. The front vagina wall
of a girl has the length of 2 1/2 inches
and the back end is 3 1/2 so the total is
around 6 inches. However, the size will be

extreme expansion of the vagina.

Many women complain they feel loose and
lost the control of their bladder. It
could be correct by kegel exercise and

VAGINAL
DRYNESS




Vaginal dryness tends to occur in older women,
women in their 40's and 50's, but it is not
uncommon to have cases of women in their 20's
and 30's who suffer from vaginal dryness.

Physically speaking, vaginal dryness results
from a hormonal imbalance. It is a defect of
the endocrine and reproductive system.
Anything dealing with bodily secretions is
endocrinal in nature or pertaining to the
endocrine system.

By nature, the female vagina is a self-lubricating
orifice. The vagina naturally lubricates after
sexual arousal or stimulation that is usually brought
on by either thought or foreplay.

The vagina naturally becoming lubricated is the
female body's way of making the statement that it
is ready for penetration. This is the major reason
a woman's vagina lubricates itself. Lubrication
helps the male penis insert into the vagina and
also helps to protect the vaginal tissues from
the effect of stroking.

Many commercial brand lubricants contain PETROLEUM
that is derived from rocks. It has no business on
or in your body!

HOW
TO
HAVE
A
HEALTHY
VAGINA




As an important part of the woman's body, the vagina requires as much attention
to hygiene as do other parts of the body to help maintain overall good health.
Unfortunately, since the vagina is an embarrassing subject among many women, it
is often neglected of basic care. Here is a simple guide to keeping the vagina
at least relatively healthy.


1. Keep healthy.

This may seem like a no brainer -- keep healthy to keep a healthy vagina. For
this you need to minimize sugar intake, and maximize yogurt intake. Why yogurt?
Simple, really. The bacteria in your vagina is a certain type that is in only a
couple of foods that you can find in the grocery store. It just so happens,
though, that yogurt contains good bacteria called acidophilus. Sugar, meanwhile,
promotes the type of bacteria that the yogurt bacterias, if you will, try to
kill off. So, as said before, minimize sugar, and maximize yogurt, sugar-free
preferably.



2. Keep yourself clean.

A large cause of infections happen simply because sweat or oils built up until
there was nothing for it to do except fester and form an infection. Never fun.
So bathe and shower regularly, and try and keep "down there"as clean as possible,
without using a douche. Douches clean too much-- they take away some of the bad
bacteria, but then they also take away massive amounts of the good bacteria.
Unfortunately, the bad bacteria builds itself up, and you're worse off than before.
Douching can also lead to increased inflammation (vaginitis). A simple washcloth,
with a small amount of mild unscented soap and water works fine, but do not wash
inside. The vagina is constantly flushing itself. So allow it to work the way it
was designed.



3. Use condoms!

while helping to protect you against pregnancy, also help keep your vagina clean.
Having unprotected sex often can lead to vagina problems as well as the obvious
pregnancy and STDs.



4. Use dental dams and gloves.

If you receive oral sex or are being fingered.


5. Wear cotton underwear.

Cotton is very breathable, if you will, and allows the vagina to get air circulating
around it. This helps to keep things from building up "down there", and also helps
maintain good skin around the vagina area.



6. Take out your old tampons.

Leaving a tampon in your vagina too long, more than six hours, is a very bad idea. It
can cause a toxic syndrome (TSS), as well as some very disgusting build up. Use smaller
size and change sooner. Changing out pads often is also a good idea-- leaving a pad on
too long can cause serious irritation to the skin on and around the vagina like diaper
rash! So keep the diaper rash at bay, and change your pad throughout the day.



7. Avoid sprays and scented soaps.

Actually, try and avoid soaps "down there" as much as possible. They can get caught in
the crevices of the vagina and fester. And you have an infection of the vagina in no
time at all. Sprays and scented soaps, though, are more damaging, as they are designed
to leave a bit behind-- the scent, and you don't want anything left on the skin of your
vagina at all. Soaps and bubble baths can also worsen vaginal dryness.



8. Visit your gynecologist regularly.

Only your doctor can accurately diagnose any problems you may be having. If you do suspect
anything at all, call and make an appointment as soon as you can.



9. Rinse Well.

While showering or taking a bath, rinse your vagina with lots of water, especially if you
use soap. Rinsing will help remove any "build-up, discharge, etc" It will also give you
that fresh scent, but if you have extra discharge or build-up, like the above step says
see your gynecologist.



Tips


Keep a mature mind when following the above steps. Keeping a healthy vagina is part of a
regular hygiene regimen.

If you suffer from vaginal dryness, you can use over-the-counter moisturizers and lubricants
to make intercourse more comfortable.

If you think you have a yeast infection, consult your doctor first before initiating self-treatment.
According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several conditions, some of them serious, with similar
symptoms. Over-the-counter treatments usually work against yeast but won't treat similar vaginal
problems that are commonly mistaken for yeast infections like vaginitis, chlamydia and and
trichomoniasis.

Getting an STD test both you and your partner(s) is a great way to know for sure if you have anything.
Don't be chicken, your health depends on it.



Warnings


If you do contract an STD, deal with it as soon as possible. STDs that are not dealt with can cause
serious problems down the road.

If you experience irregular vaginal bleeding -- small amounts of blood between periods, bleeding for
weeks at a time or soaking a maxi-pad an hour over the course of several hours -- see your doctor.
You could be suffering from a number of diseases or conditions.

If you have problems with persistent vaginal odor (especially a "fishy" smell), consult your doctor.
It could be vaginitis.

WHAT
IS
VAGINAL
ODOR?




A woman’s vagina normally has a mild odor, but inflammation or infection of the vagina
or cervix can result in an unusually strong, persistent or bad vaginal smell that is
often described as a fish-like odor.

Vaginal odor can result from a variety of conditions and diseases that include:

Overgrowth and imbalance of certain microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast that
normally live in the vagina in a certain balance. This is called bacterial vaginosis.

Vaginal odor is treatable. Good hygiene practices, including daily washing of the
genitals with mild soap and water can help to minimize vaginal odor but will not
cure vaginal odor caused by sexually transmitted diseases or other types of
infections. Treatment of vaginal odor caused by disease or infection varies and
is tailored to the underlying cause and the presence of any complications.

HOW
TO
WASH
YOUR
VAGINA




Many women and girls feel paranoid about how they smell "down there"--you are not alone!
The truth is, every female has her own signature scent, and if you have a sexual partner,
your partner probably doesn't mind it a bit. At the same time, if you're feeling a little
insecure, then it won't hurt to make sure that you're covering all of the bases when you
wash your vagina. You deserve to feel clean and confident.




Things You'll Need


Washcloth or loofah

Mild, perfume-free soap



Steps


Daily Washing Routine


1. Lather up a washcloth with some mild antibacterial soap and water.

Avoid using soaps with heavy perfumes, which may irritate the sensitive skin around your vagina.


2. Clean the folds around your clitoris.

Use your fingers to pull your vulva away from your clitoris. Gently scrub the skin on both
sides of your clitoris with the washcloth.



3. Wash your vulva and your vaginal opening.

Also, scrub around your bikini line.


4. Scrub your perineum.

The perineum is the area between your vagina and your anus. Germs can accumulate here,
especially if you wipe from back to front after you have a bowel movement.



5. Wash your anal area last.

Keep your washcloth from touching your vaginal area after you've washed your anus. Doing this
will ensure that you don't drag rectal germs toward your vaginal area. These germs can cause
you to get urinary tract infections.



6. Wash your vagina at least once per day.

If you have sex, you may want to wash it a second time if you're worried about how your body's
scent interacts with the scent of semen.




Keeping Yourself Smelling Fresh


1. Trim, wax or shave your pubic hair.

Thick pubic hair can cause you to sweat down below, which may make you have some issues with odor.


2. Stay clean during your period.

Change your pad or your tampon frequently, according to the directions on the package. If
you're worried about how you smell when you're having your period, you can wash your vagina
2 or 3 times a day.



3. Wear cotton underwear.

Breathable fabric helps to prevent vaginal odor.


4. Try a reusable pantyliner.

The idea of reusing and washing your pantyliners may seem strange at first, but the cotton
will help your vagina to breathe while absorbing any excess discharge. If you like the way
they make you feel, you can graduate to reusable cotton menstrual pads or menstrualcups.



5. Bathe as part of your foreplay.

So are you worried that your partner won't like your scent? Take a sexy shower or a steamy bath
before you have sex. Let your partner wash your vagina for you. Who knows? It might lead to all
kinds of fun.




Tips


Vaginas aren't meant to smell like baby powder or fields of flowers. If you're really worried about
how you smell, it's okay to talk to your partner about it. You'll probably find out that everything
is fine. And if your clean scent is a turnoff, maybe you need a new partner.

If you're concerned about a persistent, strong odor in your vaginal area, visit your gynecologist.
Your gynecologist can test you for an infection and can prescribe an appropriate medication or
topical cream if you need one. You can also talk to your gynecologist if you're worried about odor
and cleanliness.

To prevent odor, make sure that you wipe the area around your clitoris with toilet tissue every
time you urinate. Urine and vaginal secretions can accumulate in this area and can give you that
not-so-fresh feeling.




Warnings


Avoid washing inside your vagina.

You don't want to upset the pH balance of your vaginal walls. Also, you don't want to wash away
all of your vaginal secretions because they are nature's cleaning mechanism for your vagina.



Skip douches and feminine deodorant sprays.

Douches can upset the natural bacterial balance in your vagina. Also, both douches and feminine
sprays can irritate the sensitive skin in your vaginal area.

OILS
FOR
VAGINAL
DRYNESS




When it comes to curing vaginal dryness naturally, the use of oils for vaginal dryness
is the best option. Actually, for women with breast cancer history which can not use
estrogens creams, the non-hormonal creams such as InTivar and natural oils are their
only solution to get dryness relief.

The best vaginal dryness oils that you could use to get relief from feminine dryness
are extra virgin olive oil pure coconut oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E oil 400 mg.
Note that by using natural oils to get relief from dryness of the vagina you may
still encunter some minor side-effects such as skin irritation. This comes from
either skin sensitivity, either from using nor purely natural oils. If you notice
these side-effects, the best approach is to discontinue using them.

By far the most common oil used for curing vaginal dryness is olive oil. Though,
some people may be put off by the smell that extra virgin olive oil has. If you
don"t like to use the extra virgin oilve oil, you could try with a lighter option.
When used for cosmetic purposes, since oilev oil can be used for skin as a natural
moisturizer and impurity cleaner, it is important to look for a very good quality
oilve oil.

If you prefer using natural oils instead of lubricants, you may  ask yourself how
to actually use it. While some women reported using them inside the vagina, you
may be safer to use them just externally, to avoid some unpleasant surprises.
Using them just twice per week, if you do not suffer from vaginal atrophy, should
be enough to get you some relief.

THE
SIGNS
OF
VAGINAL
DRYNESS




Vaginal dryness is easy to be spot on. Though vaginal dryness signs may be just
temporary for some women, it is best to recognize these symptoms and cure vaginal
dryness before it affect your health and your sexual life.

But first, what are the causes of vaginal dryness? You may think that the age is the
only reasons to have such vaginal issues. However, the truth is that dryness of the
vagina can occur in any woman, regardless of age, mostly due to hormonal changes that
are normal due to pregnancy, menopause or other medical conditions such as
hysterecthomy.

Also, for many women lots of vaginal problems such as itchiness, dryness or conditions
such as yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis do start because of the use of perfumed
soaps, gels and bath douches that are found nowadays on the market. You should particularly
avoid those intimate soaps made for vaginal washing and replace them with simple warm water.

The main signs of vaginal dryness are uncomfortable and painful sex, rashes that are not
caused by fungal infection, inability to produce enough lubrication naturally during sex,
chafing or tearing during sex, flaky skin, stretched sensation, and others. If you
experience any of these early signs for more than a few days, than you may want to prevent
further damage to your vagina by applying a simple gel or cream for vaginal dryness.

There are lots of options that you can purchase on the market. Many women just stop at using
lubricants for dryness, yet they are not really recommended for long term use. A cream such
as Intivar is more appropriate than lubricants, as nowadays those creams help you more than
just lubricate for few minutes the vagina.

It s very important to cure vaginal dryness right away to avoid more unnecessary damage to
your intimate parts. Besides obvious damage of vaginal tissues and discomfort during sex,
a dryness of vagina can make it easier for various infections to occur.

HOW
TO
SHAVE
YOUR
PUBIC
HAIR
FOR
WOMEN




Removing pubic hair dates back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where prostitutes shaved to
identify their profession and promote cleanliness, according to the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation. Today, women remove their pubic hair for different reasons. There are various
methods of hair removal options, from waxing to shaving. Many women choose to shave their
pubic hair instead of other methods of hair removal because it's inexpensive and you can
do it without leaving your home. Regardless of your reason for shaving, it is essential
to shave properly to prevent ingrown hairs, cuts and rashes.



Things You'll Need


hand-held or table mirror

quality razor

women's shaving creme

a pair of small scissors

OR a pair of clippers

a moisturizing lotion




Instructions


1. Trim your public hair carefully with a pair of sharp scissors if your pubic hair is long.
This makes shaving easier since there's less hair to remove with your razor. When trimming
with scissors, it helps to stand over a towel to reduce the mess.

2, Prepare your pubic hair and skin for shaving. The easiest way to do this is to sit in your
bathtub. Let your skin soak in warm water for at least five minutes to moisten your skin,
making it easier to shave. You can also add conditioner to coarse hair to soften it up.

3, Use a new, sharp razor. Using a dull razor when shaving your pubic hair will likely lead
to razor burn, cuts and ingrown hairs, as the razor snags and tugs on the hairs instead of
cutting them cleanly.

4. Rub generous amounts of shaving cream or shaving gel onto your pubic hair before shaving.
Avoid using gels with fragrances, since they may irritate your skin. Shave in the direction
in which your hair grows. Rinse your razor often to remove excess hair.

5. Rinse your skin thoroughly with warm water when you're finished shaving to remove excess
shaving cream and hairs. If desired, apply baby oil or aloe vera to your skin to soothe it.
