Spontaneous Abortion or Miscarriage
About a fifth of pregnant women experience bleeding in the first twenty weeks of pregnancy, and around half of the pregnancies end with a miscarriage. Why do you miscarry?

Have You Heard of Dyspareunia?
Dyspareunia causes an agonising pain in the area of the vagina and vulva during sexual intercourse.

Be Careful with the Soap when Washing Your Private Parts
Did you know that when women wash their private parts too often - or when they do it with the soap, this can cause vaginal infection?
Be careful with the soap! The pH value of the vagina is between 3,8 and 4,5, which means that the vagina's natural environment is acidic. This environment protects the vagina from many bacteria. Women often wash with regular shower soap down there. This is a mistake! Body soaps have a higher pH value than our vaginas and therefore regular soap is not recommended for washing your vagina. It takes only a little for the mucous membrane of the vagina to become infected....Be Careful with the Soap when Washing Your Private Parts

What are flat or inverted nipples? In most women, nipples stick out from 0.2-0.4 inches from the lobe. Of course, their size changes during sexual intercourse because of arousal.

Inverted nipples may look like a dimple. Both men and women have them, especially if they are...Nipple Inversion
