A smelly vagina can have great discomfort for a woman and her private parts. A vaginal odor can even limit sexual activity for a woman, as she may feel uncomfortable with herself and the person who is going a short distance. Although, as a rule, there is a certain smell in the vagina, there may be some uncomfortable smell of the vagina. The main causes of vaginal odor include ...
o Vaginal discharge: Usually vaginal discharge is odorless, but a woman who suffers from bacterial vaginosis can have a large number of organisms and can cause odor. It is also characterized by an increased amount of vaginal discharge, which usually appears discolored or loose white. Abnormal vaginal discharge is also accompanied by itching and may even be green or yellow.
o Poor hygiene: It is recommended that you regularly flush the genital area during a shower or bath. Although douching is not necessary, but you can use a small soap and a lot of water.
o Vaginal infection: any kind of infection in the vagina can also be the cause of a stinking vagina. Candida vaginitis is an infection caused by yeast, and may include symptoms such as irritation, itching, redness and inflammation in the vaginal area, and then an unpleasant odor. Trichomonas vaginitis also causes severe discolored smelly discharge, accompanied by itching.
o Foreign body in the vagina: there may be some foreign body in the vagina, like a condom or a tampon, which can cause an unpleasant odor in the vaginal area. This happens when a foreign body rises into your vagina and begins to settle there. This can lead to infection leading to smelly vaginas. If you also suffer from a stinky vagina, then the first step is to find out its cause and take the appropriate steps.
