es, Sometim ace all the l orld in the w ake won’t m sexy. me feel Are you regularly suffering from feminine odour, itching or irritation? ® www.RepHresh.co.uk Treat your infections and prevent them from returning! To treat BV you may be prescribed a dose of antibiotics or recommended RepHresh, a vaginal gel which can be purchased without prescription from pharmacies. RepHresh can clear the BV infection and also prevent it from returning. Yeast infections are usually treated with antifungal creams, pessaries or pills. These can be obtained on prescription from your GP or from pharmacies. If you suffer regularly from unpleasant feminine symptoms or, after completing a course of treatment your symptoms return, the following may be possible: You may need to repeat treatment You may need to treat your partner in case they are causing the re-infection You may have a different infection to the one you have treated (You may have learned over the years to recognise your symptoms but remember the only way to get a true diagnosis is by visiting your GP, practice nurse or GUM clinic for a test). A visit to a GP or GUM clinic could also rule out any sexually transmitted infection and put your mind at ease. It may be that that re-occurring symptoms of itching, odour and irritation are caused by BV which can be treated and prevented by using a pH balancing gel like RepHresh. Finally, the truth about our vaginal health. Truthfully, honestly... Almost every woman at some time in her life suffers from some sort of feminine health issue. You may get an itchy, scratchy sensation at times. Or you may sometimes detect an unpleasant odour that seems so obvious you feel everyone must also be noticing! Then, there are the days when you feel compromised by uncomfortable vaginal dryness and irritation. The good news is, you’re not the only woman who feels like this! At times we all do. Your symptoms are very common. If you, like most women, simply want to know how to maintain your feminine health to prevent these irritations, you’ve come to the right place. pH matters Its time we learn the issues. Like the fact that vaginal pH (the level of acidity or alkalinity within the vagina) plays a large role in our vaginal health, as unbalanced pH can be associated with odour, discomfort and sometimes even infections. Many factors can cause imbalanced pH: Periods Sex without a condom Douching (washing inside the vagina) A normal vaginal pH of around 4.5 is important for maintaining good vaginal health. At this optimum level, your vagina contains a specific balance of necessary bacteria and some yeast cells. This delicate balance can easily be disturbed, and when this happens, vaginal problems, like odour, irritation, discomfort and infections, are more likely to occur. Feminine products such as sprays, scented panty liners Toiletries like soaps, shower gels and bath oils Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy and menopause Common vaginal infections The two most common types of vaginal infections are bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common form of vaginal infection. Nearly half of all vaginal infections are classified as BV, while about 29% are classified as yeast infections. It is common for women to mistake one for the other. Only your doctor can properly diagnose which infection you have. BV is generally caused by unbalanced pH. In this environment odour-causing micro organisms can flourish. Bacterial vaginosis generally results in a greyish white vaginal discharge and a bothersome ‘fishy odour’ which can be worse after sexual intercourse. Many people describe the discharge as yoghurt-like or pasty. Sometimes your body might naturally fight off the infection so that you only experience the symptoms for a few days and then begin to feel normal again. How can I feel bette r when I do n’t know what ’s wron g? However if symptoms persist, it is advisable to seek treatment. This is especially important during pregnancy as BV is considered an important risk factor so visit your health professional for advice. Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable. We have some yeast cells living within our bodies causing us no problems at all, but sometimes conditions change and the yeast increases rapidly. Symptoms generally include itching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva, a white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese, pain during sexual intercourse and swelling of the vulva. What is RepHresh RepHresh is an over-the-counter vaginal gel clinically proven to maintain healthy vaginal pH to help reduce the risk of infections like BV and thrush. RepHresh is a colourless, odourless, long lasting vaginal gel. Just one application lasts for 3 full days to help eliminate vaginal odour, relieve itching and irritation and treat and prevent BV.
