Smelly vagina

I think, smelly vagina is the most embarrassing thing for any woman. This topic made me remember a day in my school days. I came into a guys room, the ooze coming out of the room, I ask him if he had sex in this room, he said yes. I really felt for the girl.

It’s difficult for most people to talk about it. I remember a friend asking me what to do with so much shame in her eyes. These days even men have joined such discussions. Smelly pussy can bring about loss in self-confidence as you feel others can smell it too.

It also causes loss in sex drive . Most especially it causes a lot of worry because you may not know what could be wrong. Don’t  worry, a lot of women have this issue as well. The problem is lack of communication.

Below are a few causes:

• Smelly vagina could be a sign of an underlying infection.
• Lack of cleanliness from not proper wash.
• Use of products that can worsen the odor.
• Inappropriate habits like inserting infected objects into the vagina, supposed washing of vagina with certain chemicals.

Bacterial Vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal odor. The bacteria actually lives in the vagina but once there are changes in that area it increases and causes the odor. Other causes could be sexually transmitted infection. Ensure you practice safe and regular feminine hygiene routine. You can wash the external area of your vagina regularly.

If this continue, proceed to see a doctor for test. Some hospitals do swap test in such situation. Medication will be provided by medical practitioner.
