Dr. Ignatius Kibe, a gynecologist specializing in fertility with over 12 years of experience, talked about yeast infections, which are fungal infections causing irritation, discharge, and intense itchiness in the female genital area.
Yeast infections are common and often happen due to factors like high estrogen levels, pregnancy, wearing wet underwear, having a weak immune system, or using scented tampons or deodorants in the genital area.
Dr. Kibe advised against using antibiotics to treat yeast infections because they can make it worse. Instead, he recommended using antifungal medications since yeast is a fungus. He also suggested that partners should get treated if one person has a yeast infection, especially if it keeps coming back. This is because it’s possible to pass the infection back and forth.
In another article, marriage expert and motivational speaker Wanjiru Kiama warned about the dangers of using emergency pills. She advised a woman who was regularly using them because her boyfriend insisted on it. The woman, who wanted to have children, felt restricted by her partner’s decisions and sought advice on what to do.
