Tuesday’s Wandering Thoughts

It’s a complex world out there. You got to be vigilant. Take care of yourself.

This isn’t about me. This is about women and vaginal infections.

My wife related a Reddit story. A woman had a vaginal infection. She went to the doctor numerous times. Antibiotics were always prescribed. They always failed.

She suspected her underwear and shifted. New materials and styles were tried. Nothing. So she went commando. Nothing.

Sugar was removed from her diet, along with other foods. Nothing.

Her boyfriend didn’t have a rash. The two abstained from sex, in case it was something from him. No change.

Finally, she stumbled onto a Reddit post where thousands of women had reported the same struggle. The answer: toilet paper. She changed brands and the problem disappeared.

Sometimes it’s the most mundane and overlooked aspect of life. The edgier lesson was that in all of these thousands of stories from women, no doctor ever suggested, “Change your toilet paper.”

They just prescribed pills.

The end.

  1. Hi Michael. Grand that your wife is better and her infection went away. Is she perchance sensitive to others chemicals or things? I ask because I am allergic to all chemicals in shampoos and soaps, and even fabric softeners or dryer sheets. I say this because if she is allergic and gets an infection from one type thing … it is worth her asking for testing to see if other things commonly used in the house might be making her feel ill or un well. I wish bother of you best wishes, much great health, and warm hugs.
