Decode Your Symptom

Your vaginal symptoms aren’t random. They’re messages—from your microbiome.

Burning, itching, discharge, odor... they’re not just “part of being a woman.”
They’re signals from your body—and when you understand what they’re saying, you can finally support what your vagina actually needs.
Explore the most common symptoms below, or take the quiz to get your personalized Reset Score.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

BV is more than a smell—it’s a sign your vaginal ecosystem is out of sync.

Bacterial Vaginosis happens when your protective bacteria (Lactobacillus) are overpowered by disruptive ones like Gardnerella. The result? A shift in your vaginal environment that often leads to odor, discomfort, and recurrence—even after treatment.

Myth: "BV is an STI or caused by poor hygiene."

Truth: It's a microbiome imbalance triggered by antibiotics, semen, over-cleansing, and hormonal changes.

Thrush (Yeast Infection)

Thrush isn’t just about yeast—it’s about what allowed it to grow.

Thrush is a yeast overgrowth, often triggered by antibiotics, hormones, sugar, or microbiome disruption. It can feel familiar—but treating it repeatedly without addressing the root only leads to more flare-ups.

Myth: "Just take an antifungal and you're good."

Truth: Not always. Overuse can damage your microbiome and make yeast more aggressive.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

UTIs aren’t random—they’re often the result of vaginal imbalance.

While it feels like a bladder issue, many UTIs start with disrupted vaginal flora. When protective bacteria are missing, bacteria like E. coli travel from the gut or rectum and take hold.

Myth: "UTIs happen because of poor hygiene."

Truth: No—they're caused by gut or vaginal bacteria moving into the urethra.

Vaginal Odour

Odour isn’t a hygiene issue—it’s a signal your pH is off.

A persistent fishy, sour, or metallic smell is often a sign of microbiome imbalance. It doesn’t mean you’re dirty—it means your natural flora are disrupted.

Myth: "If I smell, I need to wash better."

Truth: No—over-washing makes it worse by stripping good bacteria.

Unusual Discharge

Discharge isn’t dirty. But when it shifts, it’s trying to tell you something.

Discharge is a natural, healthy function. But when its texture, colour, or smell changes—it often points to a microbial imbalance.

Myth: "Discharge is gross or unhygienic."

Truth: Not true. It keeps your vagina clean and protected.

Vaginal Dryness

Dryness is a signal—not just a side effect.

Feeling dry isn’t just about hormones or aging. It often points to inflammation, microbiome imbalance, or a stripped moisture barrier.

Myth: "Only menopausal women get dryness."

Truth: Not true. It can happen at any age due to meds, stress, or over-cleansing.

Itching or Irritation

If you’re itchy but clear, your barrier may be calling for help.

Not all itching means infection. Often, it’s inflammation from disrupted pH, over-cleansing, or barrier breakdown—especially if symptoms come and go.

Myth: "Itching = yeast."

Truth: Not always. Chronic irritation is often microbiome- or product-related.
