“I no longer feel like I’m struggling to be comfortable in my body.”
This Woman Spent a Year Discovering the Cause of Her Chronic Yeast Infections, and It Turns Out the Culprit Was Something We All Use Daily
A yeast infection can be one of the most uncomfortable experiences for women. This common type of infection affects many at some point in their lives. It can include symptoms such as itching, pain or discomfort during urination, abnormal vaginal discharge, and potential pain during sex.
“Everyday irritants like scented menstrual products, bubble baths, and harsh laundry detergents can contribute by causing inflammation or disrupting the vagina’s natural defenses. Additionally, external factors such as prolonged exposure to damp clothing or high chlorine levels in hot tubs can create an environment conducive to yeast growth,” she noted.
In her video, Jeneka shared how she finally identified the cause of her yeast infections after a night when the itching became unbearable. “I started Googling and came across a Reddit thread filled with thousands of women and vulva owners who were also dealing with chronic yeast infections. Do you want to know what the common theme in the group was?” I sat on the edge of my seat, eager for Jeneka to continue in her video.
