- Using scented products for intimate hygiene can disrupt the pH balance and lead to infections, so it's important to use unscented products and avoid practices like douching.
- Vaginal discharge is normal, and its characteristics can vary; it's important to know what's typical for you and to seek medical advice if you notice changes in amount, color, or odor.
