Constant Infections!!
Gyn says my ph is off due to the onset of menopause. ~49~ Took antibiotics for 1st. infection. 1 month later took antibiotics for another but different infection and had a BAD side effects from that antibiotic. Now a another infection! How can I get the healthy & normal ph balance back!
YEA!!! Nice to hear from someone. Thanks! I know all too well about the effect of antibiotics. This is my 3rd vaginal infection 5 months! I don't want to take anymore anti's, but I'm pretty miserable. Constant burning feeling. No Odor...No Discharge....Not itchy.....No Sex! Don't even want to go there. I eat Yogurt a lot. Just cause I like it. lol Hasn't help otherwise.
I'm menopausal now but never experienced multiple infections during peri-menopause. And I'm exposed to all kinds of nasty germs and parasites at my job. Do you mean a vaginal infection or just general infections in the body like throat or from a cut?
I've read about eating yogurt to keep the gut flora healthy. Some articles say it helps with vaginal ph and health too. Not sure how that works.
Taking antibiotics throws your body out of whack anyway. Many women will take an antibiotic for something like strep and then end up with yeast infections. They end up taking anti-fungals then to clear that up. I don't know how to get your body back in balance. You could try reading some holistic health books. Perhaps they have suggestions.
