The va gina has a distinct smell which is not a problem, as everybody has their own particular va ginal smell that is natural. Whether this natural smell is neutral or not, it is a matter of personal judgment. In fact, some women notice their odour when there is no notable odour detected by others.
However, if the odour changes and becomes strongly unpleasant, this change deserves attention because it is perhaps a sign of a serious va’ginal infection. If left untreated, this condition may cause not only physiologic problems but also emotional stress which can make the person uncomfortable thinking the odour is detected by others. Here are some reasons why your va gina smells.
Spicy Food: Spicy food can cause a sudden increase in your va ginal discharge, which can cause va ginal odour.
Sleeping with underwear at night:According to reports, sleeping in the nu de to air out the va gina is the best way to go.
Laundry Detergent: Laundry detergent with perfume or fabric softeners can irritate the va gina, once again causing odour. Wash your underwear separately with unscented detergent.
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, many of vitamins and minerals are passed along to your baby, and this can throw off the pH levels in your va gina.
S3x: You may notice va ginal odours accumulating directly after s*x.
Excessive washing: Even if you’re just washing your vagina with warm water, excessive washing can still mess with the va gina’s flora, causing an odour.
Douching: This can mess with the pH levels of the va gina and even cause a large amount of bacteria to grow. There is good and bad bacteria that can be down there, but the bad bacteria can cause a strong smell.
Tight Clothing: Wearing very tight pants or underwear can cause your va gina to sweat, which can cause va ginal odour.
Poor hygiene: Unfortunately, a quick wash doesn’t always cut it to keep our lady parts squeaky clean. Proper, thorough hygiene is particularly relevant when we are talking about down there, so listen up! Make sure you are taking a little extra time, and wash all of your nooks and crannies carefully every day.
Medications: Medications such as antibiotics can affect the bacterial balance of your vagina leading to changes in odor and discharge.
