Running around from one meeting to another and after having a crazy busy day at work, finding time for a health check up is just so difficult. Women often tend to discover that there is something wrong with them, when the symptoms are loud and clear. Your vagina is one of the most sensitive parts of your body and you need to take care of it and keep it clean at all times. Here are signs which prove that your vagina is unhealthy and you need to rush to the gynecologist to get a check up done.
Dry vagina: Your vagina is not always dry or wet. But if there is a prolonged dryness down there, you need to get a check up. But if you are above 50 then it is one of the signs of menopause, in which case a dry vagina is understandable.
Excessive discharge: There are times, when there is excessive vaginal discharge, which might be because your vagina is in self-cleaning mode. But if continues for many days, then there might be a possibility that your vagina needs to see a doc.
Foul smell: Everytime you sit to pee, you can feel a foul smell filling up nostrils and know that it is coming from your vagina. It is a sign.
Discoloured discharge: The discharge from the vagina is normally white or cream in colour, but if it is turning yellow or greenish, then it you might want to show it to your gynaec.
Abnormal bleeding: Often hormonal imbalances cause abnormal bleeding patterns in women.
Burning: One of the biggest symptoms of a yeast infection is a burning itchy sensation down there.
Bleeding after sex: Don’t freak out, but one of the biggest symptoms of cervical cancer is bleeding after sex.
