Keeping your vagina clean and healthy

The vagina is designed to keep itself clean with the help of natural secretions (discharge). Find out how to help your vagina keep clean and healthy, and why you don't need douches or vaginal wipes. 

The vagina is a tube of muscle inside a woman's body that runs from the cervix (the opening of the womb) to the vaginal opening. 

The external sex organs, which are called the vulva, surround the vaginal opening. Looking after your everyday health can help keep your vagina in good shape, says Dr Suzy Elneil, consultant in urogynaecology at University College Hospital, London, and spokesperson for Wellbeing of Women. "Generally, good vaginal health is maintained by making sure you're in good general health," she explains. "This includes a healthy diet and exercise. "Normal exercise helps maintain good vaginal function, as walking and running helps the pelvic floor to tone up and ensure good general health."
