It is important to keep the vagina healthy. It is a prime spot for infections if not cared for properly.
Keeping the system healthy
Be sexually responsible.
Use protection and/or ensure partner(s) is free of sexually transmitted infections.
Get vaccinated.
Vaccinations can protect you from HPV, the virus associated with cervical cancer, as well as hepatitis B — a serious liver infection that can spread through sexual contact.
Know your medications.
Discuss medication use and possible vaginal side effects with your health care provider.
