Take Care of your Vagina
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on Google Share on LinkedinEmail

The other day, TLR writer, Lizzy posted about feminine washes. She talked about all the ways excessive cleaning of your vagina might not be in your best health interest. It got me thinking: what other myths do we have about our woman parts? What other silent WhatsApp groups exist where ladies can codedly ask questions about their cervix, vaginal health and whatnot?

Women have long been uncomfortable with the physical functions of their body – from shyly tucking away sanitary pads in their purses to using coded language when referring to their reproductive parts.

The worst is that sexual education is so de-emphasized in this part of the world. Mothers, aunties, and even fathers, believe that once they inform their teenagers about the workings of their body and hormones, then the said teenagers would run off on a sexual spree. Lol. Maybe our parents are just as mystified and uncomfortable by the idea of sexual and reproductive conversations.

Either way, we need to normalize sex education and biological awareness. I realized this after a conversation with a doctor. My health care practitioner asked me when last I had a self-exam. At first, I assumed she was talking about my breasts (given that as an adult woman, you should check your breasts regularly for lumps.) Then I realized she meant my actual vagina. According to her, it was important to do a regular self-check of your vagina and look out for a mass/bulge or unusual tenderness, discharge and so on. ( God forbid bad thing.)

Prayer asides, it is important to know how things are doing down there. It is after all your body, your temple, and like every other aspect of your health, you should have a proactive approach to self-care. Now, fair warning, a vaginal self-check is just to help you stay familiar with your body and any changes that might be occurring. It does not in any way replace a trip to your health care practitioner o. Hmm, please let’s all be guided. Lol.

The important thing is that you take control of your health and your body. Contrary to the popular saying, what you don’t know can actually kill you.

"My 10-year-old self always imagined friendships i "My 10-year-old self always imagined friendships in my 20s being this never-ending sleep over and back-to-back vacations with my uber cool friends. Help me laugh. Well, turns out making or keeping friends isn’t always that easy. I am gradually more aware that to keep a friend, you have to try to be there. I am 100% guilty of not being the best friend sometimes and I am always trying to work on it. I shared a few pointers on how to achieve this." @ellapinkette Link in bio

Mr. O was emotionally abusing me, yet I couldn’t leave him, I thought I couldn’t live without him. And that, is a classic example of a toxic relationship. Anyone can be a victim of toxic relationships because it isn’t limited to romantic relationships only. It can also be with friends & family members. The signs of toxic relationships are broad, but it always involves certain things." Lizzy Temisan

#Repost @milly_aku So, sometime in February 2008, #Repost @milly_aku So, sometime in February 2008, Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi sought for a replacement of her international passport and was told by the immigration officials in Port Harcourt that she needed a written permission from her husband first.
What this means is that before a Nigerian married woman can be issued her international passport, she needs to get a letter of consent from her husband.
Apparently irked by this administrative policy that tramples on her right, Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi headed straight to court and sued the Nigerian Immigration services (NIS).
NIS justified the requirement by arguing that:
"Married women are classified alongside with minors by the government as persons who require consent from the head of the family".
NIS further argued that the requirement for consent of the husband was put in place to "perpetuate the authority of the man over his wife, no matter the status she had attained in the society".
They also stated that the requirement was set to
"avoid unnecessary breakdown of the marriage institution in the country."
SMH
Anyway, Justice G.K. Olotu, the presiding judge of the Federal High court gave a judgment that has remained a source of exhilaration to every Nigerian woman.
The court threw out as unconstitutional the entrenched age-old oddity that required married women to obtain their husband's consent before acquiring or renewing their international passports.
In her verdict, Justice G.K. Olotu reportedly said,
“This kind of policy has no place in 21st century Nigeria.”
On June 1st 2009, NIS lost the case made against them by Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi, a woman who decided to speak up for herself and other women in Nigeria.
This is a gentle reminder to all girls and women, that we are the most important advocates for ourselves.
