Apart from preventing unwanted pregnancies and spread of segxwally transmitted diseases, condoms may help good bacteria in the honeypot flourish, a new study has found.
segxwally active women in the study who used condoms had larger colonies of beneficial microbes in their honeypots compared with women who used other forms of birth control, the researchers at Beijing Friendship Hospital found.
The scientists focused on lactobacillus, a group of bacteria that dominates the natural flora of the honeypot for many women.
The microbes, which produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, help the honeypot maintain an average pH of 4.5, comparable to the acidity of beer or tomato juice, the Huffington Post reported.
This “acidic buffer system,” as the researchers called it, is thought to block harmful bacteria from taking up residence and causing infections.
Though there may not be a “normal” microbiome for a healthy honeypot, the presence of lactobacillus is thought to help prevent bacterial vaginosis, which is an imbalance of honeypotl bacteria that causes itching, unusual discharge and unpleasant odor.
Beneficial bacteria have even been linked to a decreased risk of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infection.
