11 Ways to Keep Your Va,gi.na Happy and Healthy..No 4 is a must see for All Women

Always Go To Your Annual Exam
Although new guidelines advise against annual pe,lvic exams if you’re symptom-free and not pregnant, a visit to your doctor isn’t just about poking around your la.dy parts, says Minkin. “I think an annual exam is important for talking about health problems,” she says. Using this time to chat about using con.do.ms, fertility, and any random se.x questions you might have is just as important as checking for STDs. So before you switch up your doctor visits, have a conversation about it with him or her first.

Lube Up
Sometimes when you’re about to hit the sheets, it seems like your va.gi,na just didn’t get the memo. But it’s totally normal—vag.inal dryness can impact you if you take certain med.ications like antihistamines, antidepressants, or hormonal birth control. It can also crop up after pregnancy or shortly before men.opa.use. When this happens, make sure you’re communicating with your partner so they don’t forge ahead before you’re properly lubricated, which is obviously painful and can cause abrasions. Or just use lube to speed up the process and make s/e.x even ho.tter, says Minkin.
