Consequently not taking enough water causes dehydration. It’s recommended by the doctors to take six (6) to eight (8) glasses of boiled clean water a day.

This is because dehydration can be a constant cause of constipation, nausea, frequent headaches and in some cases, making one prone to urinary track infections.

If a person finds drinking water unpalatable, they could add a few slices of lemon or lime. However in cases of searing heat, where one sweats a lot, an extra litre of water a day is recommended by the doctors.

Dryness is the main cause of pain during sex and the female private parts may feel itchy. Dr. Samuel Matovu of Ndejje health IV says that dryness is sometimes a symptom of virginal illness, irritation, and wounds inside the woman’s parts. He says that the woman’s private parts may become dry when she is tired, bored, on tension, and when she is over stressed.

Stress among other issues raised makes women private parts thinner and less elastic. Dr. Matovu also says that the use of contraceptives also weaken the cells that are responsible for producing fluids in the woman’s private parts. Genital damage that could be caused by childbirth is another reason that sometimes causes dryness. Dr. Matovu says that other factors that cause dryness could be candida, virginal surgery, diabetes dehydration and gastric ulcers. Watch this space for solutions soon.
