Most women experience some kind of genital infection or irritation at least once in their life.
These conditions can be uncomfortable and embarrassing but most of them are treatable. Although it can be hard to talk about what goes on ‘down there’, it’s important to get medical help because many of these conditions can become much bigger problems if they are not treated.
