• Yeast Infections: Understanding your risk factors for yeast infections, such as diabetes or antibiotic use, allows for proactive prevention strategies and healthier choices.
• Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Understanding your risk factors for vaginal and pelvic prolapse, such as childbirth or chronic coughing, empowers you to take preventative steps and seek timely medical attention.
• Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus slips down into the vagina, and proactive pelvic floor exercises can help prevent or manage this.
