That might seem strange, considering more than half the world own one, but it\u2019s true \u2013 talking about our vaginas and their health is still too often seen as embarrassing, or \u2018unladylike\u2019 (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whatever that means!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our reticence to talk about these issues and the stigma that forms around our vulvas does us no favours. It doesn\u2019t stop vaginal health conditions from being important to our overall health and wellbeing, and it can often stop us from getting the assistance or information we need at the right time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We here at LUMI say it\u2019s time to smash the stigma! By normalising discussion about our vulvas, we help reduce the embarrassment that still surrounds these issues for some women and stop women\u2019s health from being pushed to the sidelines of medical research. So, it\u2019s time we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> talked more about vaginas, and we\u2019re happy to lead the conversation!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, we lift the lid on all things related to your vulva and its microbiome. We\u2019ll explore some of the common challenges your vagina and the microbes that call it home may face, as well as showcasing how LUMI\u2019s latest showstopper release, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luminordic.com\/en\/product\/re-vulvar-pre-and-probiotic-intimate-serum\/\"><b>Re-Vulvar<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can help remedy the situation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dryness Doesn\u2019t Need to Ruin Your Vulva\u2019s Health and Happiness!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal changes and the impact of aging on the body can have profound effects on the vulva. During menopause, for example, it is common for women to suffer from <\/span><b>vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to a decrease in estrogen levels in vaginal tissue. VVA has a variety of effects, including the <\/span><b>thinning of vaginal walls, increased vaginal dryness and irritation, as well as bleeding and pain during\/after sex.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, such changes can often lead to <\/span><b>reduced self-confidence, sex drive, and overall feelings of health anxiety<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In fact, some surveys have found that the impact on quality of life associated with VVA is comparable to conditions such as arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPS), asthma, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hormonal changes associated with pregnancy can also trigger VVA or similar symptoms. In particular, <\/span><b>postpartum VVA is fairly common<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and can impact the thickness of vaginal walls, moisture levels in the vulva, and the makeup of the vaginal microbiome (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more on the importance of that in the next section!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The microbiome can also come under threat during pregnancy, becoming more susceptible to infection by unwelcome pathogens that can create significant complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you\u2019re suffering from VVA or even just one or two of its symptoms &#8211; whether due to menopause, pregnancy, or something else entirely \u2013 don\u2019t feel too embarrassed to sort the problem. It\u2019s not worth suffering in silence, especially for something as easily preventable as vulva dryness!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Dangers of Dysbiosis<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at LUMI, we\u2019re huge fans of talking about the human microbiome &#8211; the trillions-strong community of microbes that colonise our entire body, including the surface of our skin, our gastro-intestinal system, and particularly of interest today, our vulvas! <\/span><b>A healthy microbiome is absolutely vital<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the short- and long-term health of every part of the body, and the vulva is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, microbiomes often fall out of balance and certain microbes can easily become over- or underrepresented \u2013 we call this <\/span><b>dysbiosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Whilst it\u2019s true that the makeup of vaginal microbiomes naturally differs from woman to woman thanks to factors such as age, race, and contraceptive use &#8211; and can shift drastically even within an individual due to the menstrual cycle, age, and menopause &#8211; there are still some vaginal microbiome states that are considered to be worrying or even potentially dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a reduction in the amount of <\/span><b>lactobacilli <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">present in the microbiome and an uptick in gram-negative and\/or anaerobic bacteria can lead to <\/span><b>bacterial vaginosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (BV). BV increases the likelihood of a host of vaginal complications, including heightened risk of bacterial infection, several gynaecological diseases, and premature birth and low birth weight of children when pregnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other potential consequences of vaginal dysbiosis include: <\/span><b>a heightened vulnerability to sexually transmitted diseases<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; <\/span><b>polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can occur from a reduction of lactobacilli<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and an increase in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mycoplasma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevotella <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bacteria; and several <\/span><b>menstrual disorders<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that may come about from unusually high levels of various unwelcome bacteria strains. With such serious and wide-ranging risks associated with dysbiosis, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll agree that it\u2019s absolutely vital to keep the vaginal microbiome as happy, balanced and healthy as possible!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luminordic.com\/en\/product\/re-vulvar-pre-and-probiotic-intimate-serum\/\"><b>Vanquish Vaginal Dryness and Dysbiosis with Re-Vulvar!<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, we\u2019ve been hard at work in the LUMI labs creating the perfect companion for your vulva!
