Ever felt like you’re finally free from bacterial vaginosis, only for it to sneak back in like an uninvited guest? You’re not alone.

Ever found yourself lying awake, staring at the ceiling while your mind runs a marathon of what-ifs? Yeah, same. I used to think it was just a bad night’s sleep or too much caffeine, but the more I dug in, the clearer it became—this wasn’t just about being a night owl. It was anxiety. And…
