9 Common Health Struggles You Face Every Summer and How to Deal With Them

Ever heard of anyone taking a quick dip and then heading home? Pool days are meant to be long and relaxing, but according to Dr. Leah S. Millheiser, director of the Female Sexual Medicine Program at Stanford University School of Medicine, lounging around all day in a wet bikini can lead to a vaginal infection; the same goes for wearing wet leggings after a sweaty workout. In addition to changing out of your wet swimsuit bottoms, Dr. Millheiser recommends maintaining a healthy vaginal pH by using a gel cream like RepHresh as yeast infections tend to be more problematic during Summer months.
