According to "Medicalnewstoday", Though half of the world’s population has a vagina, there’s likely a lot you don’t know about this important piece of reproductive machinery. Well, prepare to know, as we take you through 5 surprising facts about your lady parts.
1. Your vagina is like wine
The normal pH of the vagina is less than 4.5, which is similar to the pH of the wine. Lactobacilli are the “good” bacteria that dominate the vagina; they help to keep pH levels normal in our lady parts and prevent the growth of infection-causing bacteria.
2. What you eat affects its scent
But if you’re worried that scrapping the soap might leave you smelling less than fresh down there, you might be interested to find that any unwelcome odors could be down to your diet. When it comes to the scent of your lady parts, there is some anecdotal evidence that we are what we eat. For example, there is a widespread belief that consuming pineapple can give your vagina a sweeter scent. Other foods believed to alter vaginal odor include garlic, onion, and fish, as well as cheese and chilies.
3. Sometimes you need to let it breathe.
Keeping your vagina locked up in tight underwear and yoga pants during sweaty workouts is an easy way to breed bacteria and yeast infections. Take this as your excuse to sleep naked.
4. The vagina is self-cleaning. Let it do its thing
The aforementioned army of specialized bacteria exists for the sole purpose of keeping your vaginal pH at an optimal level to ward off other hostile bacteria. It’s normal to see discharge — which may be thin or thick, clear or white — in your undies at the end of the day. This is the result of your vagina’s cleaning efforts.
5. Vaginas get deeper when we’re turned on
With lovemaking in the mind, the vagina opens its doors. Normally, the vagina is somewhere between 3 to 6 inches long, and 1 to 2.5 inches wide. After arousal, the upper portion of the vagina elongates, pushing the cervix and uterus slightly deeper into your body to make room for penetration
