The silent problems women hide

The trillions of bacteria living within us, known as the microbiome, play a vital role in maintaining a healthy urinary tract and a balanced vaginal ecosystem. When this delicate balance is disrupted, it can lead to issues like bacterial vaginosis (BV) and urinary tract infections (UTIs). In BV, an overgrowth of certain bacteria disrupts the natural balance in the vagina, causing irritation and discharge. UTIs, on the other hand, often occur when harmful bacteria enter the urinary tract, causing inflammation and discomfort. By understanding how the microbiome functions and maintaining its balance, we can help prevent these common feminine health concerns.
