Meet Demi Spaccavento
Demi is the founder of Bright Girl Health, a menstrual health educator and a passionate high school teacher. She believes that anyone who menstruates should never feel left in the dark about their own body.
Demi has worked with high school students for 8 years in many schools across Australia and is dedicated to empowering people with periods to be in tune with their physical and emotional wellbeing through health education. Understanding reproductive health is an obstacle many young girls and menstruators face because of embarrassment, shame, lack of resources, shying away from ‘taboos,’ and misinformation from the media or friends. Demi’s goal is to break through the silence when it comes to discussing reproductive health.
![“I just *love* UTIs!” ... said no one EVER (I hope 🙃)
UTIs (urinary tract infections) are annoying af. Whether you’re prone to them or just have the occasional pain and suffering, here are some ways that *might* help in staving these suckers off.
🚰 stay hydrated
🚽 pee after sex
🩲 wear clean, breathable, well-fitting underwear (preferably 100% cotton!)
🧼 avoid irritating genital hygiene products (soaps, sprays, deodorants, douches)
🧫 use vaginal probiotics — more info below 🔍
🚫 don’t hold your pee (let it go! ❄️)
Check the tags for a few brands fighting for vaginal health! 📍
🚨 UPDATE ON THE USE OF PROBIOTICS! 🚨
*not* written by a medical expert
First, what are probiotics?
“Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when ingested, provide a health benefit.” [@healthline] They are often thought of as “good bacteria” intended to maintain a healthy balance in your body. Probiotics fight off the bad bacteria and restore the good stuff.
You should, of course, always do your research and consult with your medical practitioner before taking any new supplements. We are definitely *not* saying probiotics are a cure-all nor will they necessarily work for everyone (which is true of any of the potential prevention methods in this post).
The evidence to support the recommendation of probiotics to prevent UTIs is *inconclusive.* This is critical to note. However, several studies have had promising results suggesting that high-quality probiotics can balance the vaginal microbiome. More on this in the comments bc there was way too much to fit in the caption (sorry!). ⬇️
