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 a bacterial infection.
Ask yourself if your obsessive cleaning routine could be the cause of the problem if you have recurring infections in the urinary or bladder tract.
