Don’t ignore symptoms
Don’t ignore new or irregular symptoms in any part of your body. It’s tough to say with a clean conscience that any part of your body should take precedence, but it is really important to report irregular symptoms concerning your vagina right away. Keep in mind that an untreated urinary tract infection can lead to a kidney infection, which can ultimately be life-threatening because it can cause blood poisoning. So if you have that feeling of burning and frequent urination, call your doctor. If you notice symptoms of bacterial vaginosis such as odor or excess discharge, report these, as untreated BV can make you more susceptible to STDs.
