Vaginal Odour?? What To Do About It?

Vaginal Odour is the odour that comes from your vagina. I know vagina is not supposed to smell like roses and strawberries but it should not have a pungent fishy smell either. If you’re suffering from vaginal odour then you should not delay seeing a gynaecologist because the main reason behind vaginal odour or bacterial vaginosis is an infection. This condition happens when your vagina’s pH balance gets disrupted so you need to maintain a healthy vaginal pH balance. There are other causes of a smelly vagina as well, like poor hygiene habits, eating strong-smelling foods, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sexually transmitted infection (STI), vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, and so on. So, you need to find out the root cause behind bad vaginal odour asap and for that visit a medical professional.

As I always say, prevention is better than cure so let me show you some tips to avoid vaginal odour.

Ditch Silk, Wear Cotton

As much as you love wearing your sexiest thong and silk panties, you should not make them a regular norm. For daily wear, always prefer soft cotton panties because they allow your vagina to breathe and prevent vaginal sweat.

Drink Water

You should drink water frequently so that the toxins from your body are flushed out. Your vagina will thank you!

Drink Turmeric Milk

Turmeric Milk is amazing for vaginitis. We all know the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it can surely help with vaginal odour.

Clean Properly

If you do not maintain proper hygiene then you cannot avoid vaginal odour at any cost. I always prefer to clean my vagina with warm water while bathing and avoid antiseptic or chemical-laden soaps. I would also recommend you to not douche as it can interfere with the vaginal flora.

Change Your Sanitary Products On Time

During periods, you need to be more cautious about your vaginal hygiene so change your sanitary products frequently.

Always Use Protection For Multiple Partners

If you have more than one sexual partner then do not forget to use protection to prevent STIs and STDs. 

Eat Curd

Probiotics will be your best friend! Eat curd which has probiotics to have a healthy vaginal pH balance. 

Hope the above information helps. If you see no difference in your condition, consult a good gynaecologist without fail.
