Help my Vagina smells weird what can I do?
Question:
Answers:
Sometimes to much scented soaps, sprays and douches make it worse. If there is nothing wrong medically it has to be that you are using the wrong products. First take a long bath instead of a shower. It kinda soaks everything. Then use a good deodorant soap like dial or safeguard and a good rag (very important). If you douche just get the medicated or vinegar and water, don't do this over once a week(read why on the bottle). Sleep without your panties, it needs to have fresh air!! Try shaving at least some of it. You know your armpits need to be shaved not just for looks but for odors as well so it makes sense. If you can, try to plan on all this just before you have sex. And always get up and wash after wards, don't let it sit there all night. If you don't do a whole shower or a full bath every night at least do a rag bath in that area!! I mean surely you don't have sex every night, if you do then follow those steps faithfully every night. Cotton crotch panties make a difference, it's not just an ol wives tale. It is breathable fabric. Don't use any perfumed feminine products, if you have them get rid of them. They can cause yeast infections too. Asparagus, garlic, onions etc. strong foods can make it worse too. Look that up, I'm not sure what all the food effects are. Hope some of this helped.

Put a Vent pipe over it, or try some toilet duck solutions. :P
You have a PH embalance in your vagina and Douching is not good for you. It gets rid of the good bacteria (yes there is such a thing) Try taking a daily dose of AZO (you can find it at Walmart) it's great for yeast infections but if you take it once a day it should help equal out the ph balance. You can also try eating yougurt atleast once a day as well
Is there maybe something forgotten in there or pushed way back. Like a tampax. The doctor can take a peek and find out. it happened to a friend of mine when she was drunk one night and forgot to remove it. She smelled bad. For days. You never know.
It maybe its a hormonal issue, if nothing is wrong with it then maybe your just unique, Im a guy I dont know too much about vaginas but I do feel for ya.
The only info I can give is talk to a specialist.
Just a thought, what if your paranoia is worse than you thought and its not really as "stink" as you think. Not tryna be funny but maybe your paranoid.
Have you ever got comments on how it smells.
Well i hope you find help.
PEACE!
Go buy some tea tree oil and put ten drops in a tablespoon of olive oil.Soak this into a tampon (you may have some left over.save and use later) and insert for 20 minutes. Remove and repeat every 4-6 hours until better. It may burn a little but if it doesn't stop even after you remove it then you have a serious fungal infection that your doctor will have to treat with ointments. And trust me.Most doctors don't test for fungus because they are stupid..
Also change to Ivory soap and lay naked on the bed..(air circulation helps!)
try taking Geritol, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty water, and juice. eating well is a fresh start. it sounds like a chem. thing. use panty liners, find the one scent from healing garden therapy's, i recommend "silk pajamas" then lavender for nite time. Clean Ur insides and treat Ur outside. stay positive. Use the candles, lotions, body sprays all thUr the day, and before bedtime. U are in to retraining ur body to cleans what may be causing this. Read up on what herbs and tea's are for different body parts, stay as natural as u can.
This can be a real problem and a downer on sex - especially oral sex.
Often the culprit has to due with an imbalance of bacteria (usually Gardnella).which is natural bacteria found in the vaginal tract. No amount of douching or bathing is going to make much difference. Go to your local drug store and start taking Acidophilus tablets. This another normal bacteria that should be in the vaginal tract. It should help. Do not douche any more. It doesn't help and it may make things worse.
Finally, I have heard that pineapple juice can improve things but have no first hand knowledge of it. If you elect to try this, do it in addition to the above advice.
Good luck.
1) Yougurt.. lots of em
2) feminine wash..
3) panty liners
4) no undies for bedtime
5) most important.. the foul smell could also an indication of UTI.. and yea docs are stupid they just presume u smell bad cos u have hormons.. they're juz lazy.. go to a gynae who listens.. if they dont.. shoot em.
What you eat has a major effect on your smell down there..so if you don't want to smell so bad don't eat so much meat. USe a feminine wash like summer's eve and wash well. JUst don't put the stuff inside of you.wash the area thoroughly. IF this doesn't help..maybe you can go to a different doctor, you may have a yeast infection.
You should get a second opinion from a different doctor. This is not normal. You might not have an STD, but maybe a bacterial infection called vaginosis which is caused by an imbalance of normal flora.
Like someone else said douching is not a good idea and could cause more problems.
With too much spraying and dushing, you will achieve the exact opposite of what you are intending to do, which is to eliminate the "offensive"odor. The vagina has its own protection..when it comes to bacterias.by killing the good bacterias - you also get rid of the good ones. Don't soap yourself down there.The balance has to be maintained. You haven't given birth, yet, so , let me tell you this..after giving birth a woman is quite a mess down there, but she is to use only soap and water, even after healing. What does your boyfriend say about this? You know..the vagina has its distinctive smell.and it does not smell like flower, whether you are a princess or just a regular person. Don't obsess about it. Relax and again: don't wash yourself too often in that area. Also don't use deodorized liners, because these can also make it smell bad instead of good.stop all of the things you are doing and you will soon realize that it's going to smell normal down there.
Did you get tested for Bacterial Vaginosis? It's not an STD, but is a bacteria that is normally present in the vagina that can cause a fishy odor. The fishy odor usually occurs when too many bacteria are present. It's treated with metronidazole. I would suggest calling your GYN and asking if they tested for it.

You know some women just think they smell bad did the doctor actually say it had a bad odor could it just be you that thinks its bad because its not suppose to smell like perfume down there so get another opinion ask them if it smells bad.
dont worry baby, I really like that smell. aahhhhhhhhh
i had the same problem drink plenty of water. clean yourself with the hottest water possible and use lever 2000 soap
I guarantee you that if you drink pure 100% cranberry JUICE (not drink-drinks only contain a small percentage of the actual juice) you will never have this problem again. Also eat lots of yogurt. Yogurt cures and protects against yeast infections and cranberry juice prevents and cures urinary tract infections/bladder infections. Make sure you didn't forget a tampon up there. Don't douche too much-this can cause a bad yeast infection. Do not use perfumed soaps either. Between the cranberry juice and the yogurt (do not consume both in the same half hour) then you will find this problem gone very soon. BTW Drinking cranberry juice makes you smell nice. And the things that you are doing eg excessive douching, perfumed soaps, spraying etc is messing with your normal flora and ph balance. You should bathe with a non-perfumed soap eg ivory.
