Did you know that the health of your vagina (I prefer to call her *yoni) has its own unique microbiome? In fact, your overall health impacts your vaginal ecology and vice versa, which creates a very important internal ecosystem. Vaginal health is so vital that it is considered a sixth vital sign. 
The Symptoms of a Disrupted Vaginal Microbiome:

You experience chronic pelvic pain and infection, UTIs, vaginal itching and irritation, yeast, Gardnerella, Group B Strep infections, vulvovaginitis (overall inflammation and irritation of the vagina, the vulva, or both), or vaginal dryness.
Painful sex.
You have used antibiotics, singularly or chronically.
Infertility issues (conception difficulties, implantation issues, and miscarriages).
You have PCOS - Elevated androgens are closely related to vaginal dysbiosis.
You did / currently have an IUD.
