<\/p>\nThe internet \u2013 and the limitless wealth of information it provides \u2013 is an immeasurably useful tool for more reasons that anyone can list.<\/p>\n
Yet though there\u2019s seemingly no end to the advantages it brings to our daily lives, it\u2019s perhaps the fact that it\u2019s a bottomless well of shared knowledge that makes it arguably the greatest invention of recent centuries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the years we\u2019ve seen many old myths debunked online, just as we\u2019ve seen life-hacks and helpful hints become common knowledge, whereas once they would have been wisdoms held by only a small few.<\/p>\n
Have you ever wondered, for example, why your underwear ends up looking like it\u2019s been stained by a bleach spot? If you have, you\u2019re apparently not alone, with the question being posed online by women seeking answers.<\/p>\n
And answers they found. As it turns out, said patches of coloring have absolutely nothing to do with your machine (as some have speculated).<\/p>\n
Dr. Vanessa MacKay, with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, explains: \u201cThe vagina has a self-cleaning mechanism through natural secretions. It contains beneficial bacteria that serve to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As per the National Institutes of Health, the usual vaginal pH ranges between 3.8 and 5.0, making it moderately acidic in relation to the naturally neutral pH level of 7.<\/p>\n
Dr. MacKay adds that it\u2019s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagina, while disturbing the natural balance can lead to infections.<\/p>\n
