💡 Debunking Myths: It’s Not Poor Hygiene
It’s a common misconception that these marks indicate a lack of cleanliness. In reality, they are a sign that the vaginal environment is balanced and healthy. Dr. MacKay emphasizes that clear or white vaginal discharge is entirely normal and should not be a cause for concern.
However, disrupting the natural balance through douching, using harsh soaps, or other methods can lead to infections. Therefore, it’s important to let the body regulate itself and maintain a gentle, supportive hygiene routine.
