3. Switching Washing Powder
Everyone uses washing powder, and it’s such a common product that very few people will ever think of the fact that they might be able to track certain health issues right down to the type of washing powder they use. If you have switched to another washing powder other than the one you normally use and have started to experience rashes, itching, discharge or any other BV symptoms, start by switching over to another washing powder.
One of the main causes of BV is a pH imbalance in the vagina – and as you might have realized by this point, there are a few things that can cause the natural bacteria in the vagina to be flushed away or die off; one of these things is chemically harsh washing powder.
This is particularly true where underwear is washed with the applicable washing powder because of its close contact with the body.
