Have Reoccurring Yeast And Bacterial Infections, Some Relief With Feminine Wash. What To Use For Shaving Vagina?

I ve been getting reoccurring yeast and mostly bacterial infections for awhile. I was using shampoo or conditioner to shave downstairs, but then I realized that apparently it s bad to do that because it can wash out some of the good bacterias in your vagina. My friend recommended Feminine Wash to me because apparently it s not soap, and is used to keep the odor away and stopped her from getting infections as well, but now I ve got this strange red shading around the outside of my vagina that looks as if it could be a rash without any bumps so I ve decided to stop using the wash for awhile. I know that the vagina cleans itself so that you can usually simply water if you wanted to, but I still need something to put down there for me to be able to shave with and I don t know what to do. Any suggestions? Read more: Reoccurring yeast and bacterial infections, but allergic to Sensitive Feminine Wash (my last resort), what should I use to shave?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

All recurring infections in the genital region always have a cause to it. And so I would first recommend an elaborate evaluation of your reproduction and urinary system and all the surrounding parts, factors, etc. Some women have a prolapsed bladdrer, some have renal abnormalities, so have an abnormal.vaginal pH, and so on. Find the cause and treat it, and you won't have to worry about infections anymore.

As for shaving, anytime you shave while you are still susceptible to infections, will result in an infection. It is sadly a fact, and there is no way around it till we find and rid you of the cause.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
