Maintain good intimate health habits can help you to keep your vaginal microbiota balanced4, as a disturbed composition (vaginal dysbiosis) has been associated with several diseases like bacterial vaginosis1 and vaginal yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis)6 for example.
Read more to know the different things you can do to keep your vaginal microbiota balanced.
