Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can food inserted into the vagina cause an infection?Doctor's answer:
Every organ in the body should have a proper function. The vagina is after all not a mouth; it is a more delicate reproductive system and was not designed to swallow and discharge food. Food contains many bacteria that can cause infections. Of course, some foods are harmless when placed in the vagina, but meat is absolutely harmful because it is most prone to bacterial infection. However, yogurt is the opposite. It contains lactic acid bacteria that are beneficial to yeast, so it not only does no harm but is sometimes even used by doctors as a good vaginal rinse.
