REPHRESH

Many women suffer sometimes problems of feminine Intimate health, the symptoms are very common, and sometimes they can provoke an unpleasant sensation or even a strong smell.

THE pH

The vaginal pH (Level of acidity or alkalinity in the vagina) plays an important role in the vaginal health. The imbalance may be associated with bad smell, troubles or, sometimes, with infections. Factors that may provoke this pH imbalance:

. The menstruation.

. Have sexual relations without the use of preservatives.

. The vaginal showers.

. Use feminine products containing perfumes such as sprays and sanitary towels.

. Items of hygiene such as soaps, shower gels and bath oils.

. Hormonal changes that might be appear during the pregnancy. A normal vaginal pH is around 4.5. At this level, the vagina keeps a specific balance of required bacteria and other yeast cells, but this fragile equilibrium may break easily. When this happens, the vaginal complications above mentioned may take place.

The two types of vaginal infections are bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections. The bacterial vaginosis is the most common one (Near half of the vaginal infections), the yeasts would however constitute 29%. Only a doctor can make a right diagnosis of the type of infection that it is. The bacterial vaginosis has its origin generally in an imbalance of the pH, due to an excess of flow of white or grey colour (it would have the consistency of a paste or yoghourt) and an unpleasant smell as "fish". One of the consequences are the impairment of the sexual relations. The infections for yeasts can be very annoying. The most frequent symptoms are the itching or heat in the zone of the vagina and vulva, a white flow (as white cheese), painful sexual relations and inflammation of the vulva.

For treating the bacterial vaginosis a dose of antibiotics can be prescribed or advise REPHRESH, a vaginal gel that can be acquired without prescription. RepHresh may eliminate the infection produced by the bacterial vaginosis and prevent its reappearance. Usually, the yeasts infections are treated with antifungal creams, suppositories or pills. If the patient suffers regularly the symptoms of the intimate problems even after the treatment having completed the treatment, the following may occur:

- Perhaps you need another treatment.

- Maybe your partner has to be treated in case he can be the causer of the re-infection.

- Maybe the infection is different to the treated one.
