WHY YOUR VAGINAL INFECTION KEEPS RETURNING!

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Have you been treated for vaginal Infections before, only for you to realize that the infection you treated came back again in a space of weeks? I know no lady is happy when she keeps treating for recurring vaginal Infections, but then you must have it treated. However, in this blog, I will be showing you three key reasons why your vaginal infections keep returning even after treatment and this knowledge will help you stay safe from further harm. Let's explore the three(3) reasons below!

 1). Having The Wrong Treatment/Medication

The very First Reason your vaginal Infection returned is that you have been on the wrong medications. When you notice any sign, you would also need a proper diagnosis for the exact infection you are having. Do not self-medicate. Getting an antibiotic isn't the cure for all vaginal Infections, not every itching is a result of Bacteria, and not every Infection is treated with antibiotics. Aside from bacteria, most vaginal Infections could be a result of certain viruses and fungi; if you go ahead treating yourself with antibiotics without being diagnosed, you might end up harming your health and if you should continue doing this, you will develop "Antibiotics Resistance". Remember that the vagina contains healthy bacteria that help fight against harmful invading bacteria: if you take the wrong medication, it might go ahead to kill this helpful bacteria in your vagina or it would alter your vagina pH causing the infection to return. I recommend that you visit a doctor when you notice any vaginal disorder like itching, discharge, or foul smell to get a proper diagnosis and medication plan. 

2). Skipping And Not completing Your Medication

As you know most treatments for vaginal Infection do last for 1 or 2 weeks and while you commence the treatment, you certainly would notice an improvement, the next thing that might run through your mind is that have to stop taking the drugs. Please, you have to complete your treatment regimen without any excuse. If you are a busy person then kindly set a reminder on your phone, you get an accountability partner who will always remind you not to skip your medication. 

Note: Skipping your medication causes a RELAPSE even though you got the best drug prescription from a gynecologist.

3). Exposing Yourself To What Caused The Infection Earlier

Certainly, when you expose yourself to any risk factors such as douching, poor vaginal hygiene, or unprotected sex with an infected partner, the infection would return, in order words you are reinfecting yourself by getting in contact with what caused the Infection before. Most vaginal Infections are usually sexually transmitted, though some are not. For sexually active ladies, you would notice that after you were treated, the Infection came back a few days after you had sex with your partner. On this note, I advise you and your partner to get treated.


IN CONCLUSION: Please ladies, ensure you get the right test examination and get a proper drug prescription. Afterward, don't skip your treatment, and do ensure you avoid reinfecting yourself.

Thank you for connecting, I hope this was helpful to you, kindly drop your questions in the comment section and please share with other ladies so they could benefit too. 

I love you all, sincerely yours Favourite Nurse Favour

IRREGULAR PERIODS: Causes, Signs & Tips Every Woman Should Know.

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Dear Queen, How often have you silently wondered if your period is “normal” — yet felt too scared or confused to ask? You’re not alone in this quiet struggle. So many of us carry the weight of unanswered questions, enduring pain, missed cycles, or heavy bleeding, wondering if this is just “how it’s supposed to be.” Sometimes it feels like we know more about the latest phone or fashion trend than about the very rhythms of our own bodies — those sacred cycles that shape who we are. And the silence around this topic? Deafening. But your body is speaking, Queen. It’s trying to tell you something deep and vital — a message that could change everything about how you feel, live, and love yourself. You deserve to hear that message loud and clear. Because your menstrual cycle is not just a “monthly thing.” It’s a mirror reflecting your health, your stress, your strength, and your spirit. One of the most important signals to pay attention to is when your period becomes irregular. So, what...

YEAST INFECTION (GENITAL CANDIDIASIS INTRO)

GENITAL YEAST INFECTION Yeast infection can be so uncomfortable. It makes you restless, irritated and tired–especially when it keeps coming back even after you’ve treated it. In fact, 3 out of 4 ladies would experience this once in their life time.  Just imagine being invited to an event, and while you are on stage giving a speech, you suddenly feel an intense desire to itch your vulva. You try to ignore it, but the itch just won’t stop. At that point, it might even disorganize your thoughts, and you find yourself rushing through your speech just to run to the restroom. This infection is both embarrassing and exhausting. Let me give you another example:  A lady once said, that when hers starts, she uses a comb to scratch it. Yes–a comb! She said the more she scratches, the more intense the itch becomes. Just imagine what we women go through. And that’s why on this blog, you are going to learn about: “What exactly is a yeast infection, including its symptoms.” WHAT IS YEAST INF...
