Q: Other symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include a burning sensation, inflammation, a thin grayish-white discharge, and a foul, fishy odor. You may experience all of these symptoms, just a few, or none of them at all. The exact cause of bacterial vaginosis is not known, but some women are more susceptible than others. Many women who have previously had bacterial vaginosis will have at least one recurrence within the year. This may be because some women have naturally low levels of healthy bacteria. Unlike a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis cannot be effectively treated at home. In order to cure the infection and get relief from your symptoms, you must see a doctor and get a prescription medication. Your may get a prescription for an oral medication, such as Metronidazole or Tinidazole, or for a cream, such as Clindamycin. In order to diagnose bacterial vaginosis, your doctor will need to perform a pelvic exam and swab your vagina in order to examine the cells under a microscope. Your doctor may also use a strip to test the pH of your vagina. It is especially important to get treated for bacterial vaginosis right away if you are pregnant, as it can lead to serious complications. While there is no way to prevent all recurrences of bacterial vaginosis, you may be able to reduce your risk by taking a few simple steps. Avoid douching, as this can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in your vagina and lead to an infection. Avoid scented products like soaps, tampons, and sprays. Limit your sex partners. Although it isn't entirely clear why, women who have multiple sex partners, have recently had a new sex partner, or have female sex partners are more likely to get bacterial vaginosis. Thoroughly dry your vaginal area after showering, and avoid hot tubs. Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet to avoid introducing fecal bacteria into your vagina.

Article: Your horse should already be familiar with riding tack and a saddle pad before you put on the saddle, or else it could get stressed. Have someone your horse already knows gently hold it in place. Your horse will look to your helper for reassurance, so having someone calm nearby will help ease its mood. Don't tie your horse while saddling, which can be dangerous if it gets spooked. Your helper should hold it in place. Since you traditionally mount your horse on its left side, approach it from that side. Rub it with the saddle pad before placing it on its back, remembering to give praise. Heft the saddle quickly and smoothly onto the pad, and let it sit there for 1-2 minutes. If your horse looks comfortable, cinch the girth (saddle strap) just snug enough to keep it in place. Give positive reinforcement when it accepts the girth. Allow your horse to walk and jog around on its own to get used to the saddle. Stay out of the way. It may take several days in a row for your horse to get comfortable wearing the saddle. Make sure your horse has accepted the saddle and is comfortable wearing it before you try mounting. You'll know your horse is comfortable when it doesn't try to remove the saddle with its mouth, flinch when being saddled, or seem skittish when wearing it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask someone to help you introduce the saddle. Place the saddle on your horse's back. Tighten the girth in intervals.

Article: This can be especially fun if you are playing with a large group of people. However, you might want to make a rule that seekers can't wait around the jail or babysit the can. The number of seekers you add depends on your preference. Even with fewer than 20 players, 2 seekers can balance the game. This way, seekers can split between offense (seeking) and defense (protecting the can). If you choose to add seekers to the game, you might also want to increase the number of cans for each additional seeker. For example, a 2 seeker game might have 2 cans. This can add a thrilling pursuit aspect to this game. Instead of having seekers beat hiders to the can, have them tag hiders instead. Tagged players should go, as per usual, to jail. Playing in the dark can be dangerous, so you should make sure your parent or guardian knows and is OK with you doing this beforehand. This version of the game uses no can, as it would be difficult to locate a kicked can in the dark. Instead: Equip seekers with flashlights. Tag people out by shining the light on them and calling their name. Release people from jail by having hiders tag jailed players. Choose a jail in a well lit location, like a porch, so seekers can see potential jailbreaks. This variation requires you to split players into two teams. In the middle of a hardtop area, place your can. Draw a large circle around it with a piece of chalk. Have teams stand an equal distance from the can on opposite sides. Then: Flip a coin to determine which team goes first. Take turns rolling a soft ball at the can to knock it over. Each team should have a ball. The first team to knock over the can must run to it and set it up again with only their feet. Only one active player can be in the circle at a time. The opposing team can freeze players trying to set up the can by hitting them with their ball. The game continues until the can is set up or all the players on one team are frozen.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Add more seekers to your game. Have seekers tag players. Play in the dark with flashlights. Contest the can.
