Laura Govan is opening up in ways we’ve never seen her open up before.
On an episode of The Doctors, Govan recalls a stressful time in her life. She had just delivered her fourth child, was 100 lbs over her goal weight and was struggling with a string of vaginal yeast infections.
When asked if there was a smell associated with her condition, Laura Govan tells The Doctors hosts, “For me, I don’t go around smelling like salmon croquette. Like I’m not… you know, I’m fresh. But, there’s still like… you know when you start rubbing, and the smell, it’s like anything – if you start rubbing cottage cheese after a while it’s like, it smells like a little cardboard with a little hint of, you know, something.”
Govan has her condition under control now, thanks to antibiotics, cutting down on sexy underwear and a change in her diet. According to Govan, changing her diet was the hardest part.
“My biggest problem was getting yeast infections because I can’t break sugar down,” Govan tells the syndicated daytime TV show. “There’s so much sugar in so many things, and changing my diet… it was hard, it was a struggle.”
Laura Govan now eats more greens, apples and less sugar. She also stays away from thong underwear.
