7. Vaginal Overcleaning
It’s a common misconception that bacterial vaginosis is caused by poor personal hygiene. This is one of the biggest myths about bacterial vaginosis.
Obsessive cleaning and douching can have a negative impact on your health. Overcleaning the vagina can actually disturb the natural pH balance in the body, increasing your chances of getting bacterial vaginosis.
Ask yourself if your obsessive cleaning routine could be the cause of your repeated bladder infections or urinary tract infections with bacterial vaginitis.
