Signs Your Vagina Is Healthy

The vagina is one important body part you should never ignore. Any suspicious changes should be investigated as you risk major issues to your body if you keep assuming all is well.
An unhealthy vagina could mean you have contracted an STD, and this can be deadly. Ignoring symptoms can even affect your reproductive health.

1) It  has it’s own ecosystem :

That’s what all the discharge is about! It has it’s own pH, gets rid of bacteria on it’s own, it’s just plain amazing. But, being your own delicate ecosystem also means you’re supersensitive. So, if your vagina is super sensitive and gets thrown off easily when you try to alter that
ecosystem – congrats! Your vagina’s just doing it’s job.

Nothing Itches :

In general, a healthy vagina won't give you any trouble. According to Women's Health, anything from hormonal fluctuations to yeast infections can cause vaginal itchiness. So if everything feels A-OK down there, it's probably in good working order.

2) The Discharge Is Normal:

Discharge can vary throughout your cycle. According to WebMD, normal discharge may be clear, cloudy, thin, or thick. As long as it isn't itchy or any unusual color, you probably have a clean bill of health.

3) The Scent Is Standard:

It's normal for your vagina to have a slight odor, and chances are you know what's typical for your own equipment. While a strong, "rotting" kind of odor could signify an infection, as explained on Self, a bit of scent is to be expected.  You're probably good to go.

4) ThereAre No Obvious Spots Or Irritation:

Healthy vaginas are rather unblemished. If you have certain STDs, then this may cause red, itchy, painful sores to develop, according to Healthline. So if things look smooth and and nothing hurts, that's a good sign.

5) There's No General Pain:

In general, pain signifies a problem. Some women have to deal with debilitating conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease that can hurt considerably, according to Healthline. So if you don't have to think twice about whether things hurt down there, you're likely in good health.

6) You Have Pain-Free Sex

Of course a bit of pain may be expected when things get a little wild. But according to WebMD, women may experience extreme pain during sex because of conditions such as vaginismus, infections, or problems with the cervix. If you're generally able to do the deed without any ill effects, then your vagina is likely in great health.

7) No obvious spots or irritation:

Healthy vaginas are rather unblemished. If you have certain STDs, then this may cause red, itchy, painful sores to develop. So if things look smooth and and nothing hurts, that's a good sign.
