10 Causes of Kidney Infection
Cause #3: Feminine Products
There are various feminine products that are currently available on the market. Examples include vaginal cleansers, intimate wipes, lubes, douches, and moisturizing creams.
While some may think that these products are beneficial, many of them have been found to increase the likelihood of a urinary tract infection (and therefore a kidney infection) as they often disrupt the balance of the vaginal microbiome. This imbalance can also further lead to reduced fertility, bacterial vaginosis, and a higher risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
