In summer, between tight skirts, long days, and synthetic clothing, our intimate area can quickly turn into a mini-sauna. Sweat accumulates, bacteria proliferate, and odors intensify. To limit these problems, opt for cotton underwear, avoid tight pants, and remember to change after sports or a long day in the sun. Finally, gentle washing with a pH-neutral detergent is essential.
Certain treatments can disrupt
the body’s natural balance. Antibiotics, dietary supplements (especially those containing protein or omega-3 fatty acids), and even some medications can affect this balance. Sometimes, the changes are subtle: a slightly different odor, a feeling of imbalance. As long as it remains occasional, there’s no need to worry. If the phenomenon persists or is accompanied by other signs (irritation, abnormal discharge, etc.), a prompt medical consultation will put your mind at ease.
