A WHC educational social post prepared for review, sharing and patient-facing content support.

Current discussion around vaginal health and the microbiome is useful because many people still delay asking for help with intimate symptoms. Dryness, irritation, discharge, soreness, odour or pain can all be valid reasons to seek advice.
The cause is not always obvious from symptoms alone. Hormonal changes, infection, skin conditions, product irritation, antibiotics, sex and menopause changes can all play a part.
Before a review, note what changed, when it happens, what products or medicines you use and whether symptoms link to your cycle or sex. This can make the consultation more specific.
