Lovehoney Podcast S3E7 Sarah Mulindwa

Women are complex creatures, especially when it comes to sexual health, and it's hugely important to keep your lady parts happy and healthy. Seemingly unrelated problems like lack of libido and painful sex can be caused by undiagnosed issues such as PID (pelvic inflammatory disease).

Some of the most common sexual health problems that vulva owners face are complaints like thrush and BV (bacterial vaginosis), which are not necessarily passed on through sex, however symptoms can be similar to chlamydia (the most common STI) and gonorrhea. So what causes these infections? How do you check yourself, and what can you do to avoid getting them in the first place?

Nobody likes a smear test, but thankfully they are now accepted as a necessity. So, how often should you get yourself checked out for other sexual health issues, and is it only applicable if you are sexually active?

Alongside this hot topic the team share some little-known sex facts and the answers to your questions.
