different
a little bit more feminine even though
my channel is pretty much 100 feminine
but this topic of today is going to be a
little bit more
deep down and personal talking about
our kitty our vajayjay our vaginal
region okay whatever type of terminology
you want to use
our vagina this is going to be a v
talk discussion on how to maintain and
restore
the natural and normal ph of your
vaginal area
as well as how to prevent any type of
vaginal infections such as yeast
infections or
bv aka bacterial vaginosis
all of that good stuff aka not good
stuff when it happens
but we're going to be talking about all
of that in today's video before we get

right now support us okay so if you are
new to my channel my name is tam cam
i am a nurse of five years an emergency
room
nurse i am not an ob gyn you know a
doctor anything like that but
i know a good bit of things about the
vagina okay
first of all because i have one i feel
like i know enough to talk about
the vag region so first before we even
get started
deep down into the nitty-gritty about
the vagina j
and the ph let's first start and talk
about
exactly what is the normal ph and what
exactly
is a ph okay ph is a measurement
of how acidic or how alkaline or
basic an environment or a substance aka
your vaginal region
can be so the ph level ranges from
0 to 14. a ph level that is
less than seven is a more acidic
environment
and a ph level that is more than seven
is more alkaline
and basic so the normal ph of the
vaginal area or the vagina
is around 3.5 to 4.5
and that is the normal range for our
vagina okay so it's kind of like
mildly on the acidic end but
not alkaline at all so the reason why
our ph levels for our vagina is
very very important is because when it
is within the normal range
it acts as a barrier for our vagina to
prevent any type of
unwanted bacteria from growing
and causing other unknown type of
infections
or yeast infections or bacterial
vaginosis so the reason why our ph level
is so important for our vagina is
because
when it is not within normal range and
it becomes out of way
it can definitely cause our vagina
to do things that we do not want it to
do
as far as having overgrowth of
bad bacteria or bacteria in general
which then in turn
causes yeast infections or bacterial
vaginosis which is something we
don't want okay so an acidic vaginal
environment is protected and able to
create a barrier to prevent
any type of unwanted bacteria or yeast
from growing and causing anything
wild from going on down there so having
a higher
acidic ph can cause an excessive amount
of bacterial growth
and cause yeast infections bad odors as
well as discharge and sometimes
bacteria vaginosis which then can
actually give you a
fishy smell that you do not
want as well as also give you some time
an abnormal
color of discharge green and yellow
that you also do not want so let's
actually talk about some things that can
actually cause your ph
to get out of way so i actually have a
list here of about
how many things of four things that can
actually cause your ph to actually
become
out of whack and increase the risk of
you having a yeast infection or
bv so number one on the list is
antibiotic now we all know we use
antibiotic when we get
sick or anything like that an antibiotic
is used to kill the bad germs and
bacteria
but sometimes unfortunately antibiotics
can actually kill
the good bacteria which we have a lot of
good bacteria in our vagina that we just
want to actually keep there
and sometimes when you are on certain
types of antibiotic it actually can kill
some of the good bacteria that we need
to stay dominant to keep our ph in
balance so one thing that i definitely
recommend before starting any type of
antibiotic treatment is to just check
with your ob gyn check with your primary
care doctor
just to make sure that those specific
antibiotics do not cause
any type of yeast infections for you
because sometimes with antibiotic
treatments
sometimes you do need a dual or a double
antibiotic treatment
in order to prevent one is to actually
fix whatever
type of reason why you're on the
antibiotic whether it's a cough
pneumonia and then you need a second
antibiotic to prevent
that antibiotic from causing a yeast
infection in your kidney
okay so always always always just
check with your pcp your primary care
doctor as well as your ob gyn just to
make sure that you're not too sensitive
with certain type of antibiotics that
may actually cause a yeast infection i'm
sure we all have been there when we had
yeast infection system
i'm about to say system bro cis well
bro's having to but
this is we don't want that again okay so
number two on the list is douching now
if you're not familiar with douching
douching is actually
a mixture of water baking soda or
vinegar
and i believe um they have companies
like summer's eve that actually makes
douches where you insert it into your
vaginal canal and you actually kind of
just
wash the canal now the reason why
douching is not good is because
like i said you have good bacteria in
there induction actually just cleanses
everything out the good stuff too and it
makes
the area more alkaline which we do not
want our vagina to be more
acidic so it can have a protective
barrier to prevent any type of
infection but when you do do a lot of
douching
it kind of messes that up and make it
all out of whack now there are some
people that do douche
and they have no problems power to your
cysts
can't do it but they highly
highly do not recommend douching because
it does increase the risk of vaginal
infections
and changes your ph a whole lot so i
highly suggest to not
do any type of douching stick with your
typical
soap and water or light cleansers when
it comes to cleansing
the area down there so number three is
unprotected sex now i know you guys
y'all be like you know
or don't feel the same yadda yadda but
if you do not know semen is actually
very very alkaline so while you're
having sex
and it's unprotected and that semen gets
in yeses
it is very very alkaline and it actually
increases the risk
of you having a yeast infection so to
prevent that
you should actually use condoms to
prevent the semen from actually getting
into your vaginal canal and also to not
get pregnancies
but this is v talk about
ph so we do not want the semen in there
so it doesn't change our ph and in turn
increases our risk of getting an
infection number four is harsh
soaps now i know some of y'all love to
use those good old body washes you know
the lavender
the mint the coconut all of those
different kind of scents oh they smell
so good on your bodies
okay but they do not need to be down
there okay
leave it alone one thing about hard
soaps is that they do not
match our ph of our vagina as
all most soaps harsh soaps are very very
alkaline so therefore when you're
washing yourself down there and you're
using that
lovely dove shea butter and dove
lavender and all that stuff like that
you are making your environment very
very alkaline and increasing your risk
of getting an infection down there so
definitely definitely definitely do not
use harsh soaps and if you do want to
use a soap i highly recommend using like
a dove unscented or a dove original soap
or just using
water and a light cleanser one cleanser
that i highly recommend
is actually the honey pot cleanser this
is the
normal foaming cleanse i actually have
the sensitive one because i am very very
sensitive so i started off with the
sensitive one first
inside of my shower but this is a nice
nice
foaming wash and it actually matches
your ph of 3.5 to 4.5
which is great and it's organic and
black owned
okay so next on the list we're going to
go ahead and talk about how we're going
to maintain
and restore our ph of our vagina so one
way that you can actually maintain and
restore the ph of your vaginal canal
your
kitty down there is actually take some
probiotic supplements such as like
azo's or you can actually increase the
intake of your foods
actually have probiotics such as yogurt
miso but asos is a good supplement to
take if you actually do want to just
increase your probiotic intake if you do
not want to eat yogurt such as myself
because i hate yogurt one thing that i
really love about asos is the fact that
they actually have a kid that you
actually can test your ph
of your vagina and it comes with like
this little stick that you actually lay
up against your vagina for a couple
minutes or a couple seconds
it'll tell you on the box and you take
it off and actually tells you what your
current ph
of your vagina is so you can actually
know what range you're sitting in
at the moment and it's also a good
indicator to see if you
do have any type of vaginal infection if
you are having any type of symptoms such
as
fishy older or older in general weird
looking discharge
itching and burning when you urinate i
love azo just for those benefits of
being a probiotic as well as having a
testing strip
for you to test your actual ph of your
vagina
your kidney says so the next thing that
you can actually use to maintain and
restore the ph of your vagina
is actually using estrogen type creams
now
these creams you have to get from your
primary care doctor or your obg right in
and you can just
actually just put the cream up there and
actually help
normalize your ph the next thing that
you can do to maintain
the ph of your vagina is actually using
condoms
during intercourse like i said semen
actually increases the ph causing it to
become more basic or alkaline
which in turn increases our risk of
getting any type of infections that we
do not
want okay no one do not want to be
itching and burning okay we try to be
hot for a summer hot winter summer
winter girl summer whatever we want to
be but we ain't trying to be burning
down there okay
so using condoms during intercourse i
know it feels good and all that without
it
but to not make our ph out of whack
using condoms will actually maintain
your ph
of your vagina the next thing is to do
not douche like i spoke
already before douching kind of cleanse
all the good bacteria
and make your environment very alkaline
which you do not want so do
not douche and instead use water in
light cleansers in the final and last
way how you can maintain and restore
the ph of your vagina is to actually see
your ob gyn on a regular basis
you know your annual checkups do not
miss that mine is coming up soon now
that i think about it you know just
making sure that your kitty is
nice and good down there about the kitty
professionals okay your ob gyrns
they are the professional of everything
girl
wise down there so want to see your ob
gyn
on a regular basis especially if you
have any type of issues
it's very very important because they
are the best to educate you
and inform you on what you need to do to
actually maintain restore your ph and to
prevent any type of
bv or yeast infections that we do not
want so that completely sums up
every single thing about how we can
maintain
restore our ph of our vagina everything
about the ph how to normalize it what is
normal and how to prevent any type of
unwanted
infection such as yeast infections or bv
bacteria vaginosis in our kitty kitty
