Q. What is “healthy” vaginal environment?
Are there any tips you can suggest for us to keep healthy vaginal environment?
A.Healthy vaginal environment is closely related to the balance of acidity and alkalinity. There should be lactobacillus to keep vagina sub-acid. When the pH of vagina is being kept sub-acid, we can say “your vagina is healthy!” Also, it is normal when the color of your vagina discharge is transparent or whitish.

Q. Are there any changes on vaginal environment as we grow old?
Recently, I heard that it is almost impossible for women in their 50’s to have sex. What’s the reason why? Are there any helpful tips for them to enjoy their love life?
A. The key is, female hormone. As women grow old, the amount of female hormone decreases. And this causes vaginal atrophy. You should talk with your partner on the condition of your vagina in detail.
If you go to see a doctor, he/she might prescribe you a female hormone pill. However, if you have high risks of thrombosis or if you had breast cancer surgery before, the pill is not for you. In this case, using personal lubricant can be a solution for your love life.

Q. Please tell me the importance and the necessity of taking care women’s intimate zone.
A. It is no exaggeration to say that women’s vaginal health is a barometer of women’s health. When women are stressed or when they are in poor condition, vaginal environment changes right away followed by unpleasant odor or excessive discharge. Womb is a symbol of women. When we remind of this fact, taking care of our delicate zone must not be neglected at all. Just keep in mind that taking care of your delicate zone is the first step to live young and healthy.
