Troubled With a Smelly Vagina

If you are troubled with a smelly vagina, there could be several reasons for it. A lot of these are also quite easy to handle. You would have to first eliminate the possibility that you are suffering from an infection of some sort.


This would happen only if you went for a proper physical examination. This would reveal if you are having an infection of some kind. If this is the case, then you can take steps to remedy it accordingly.


You should apply a generous layer of yogurt to your entire vagina and leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes do this about thrice a day for best results. This will take care of any surface stick as well as surface bacteria. You should also make it a point to start drinking large quantities of cranberry juice in order to take care of your infection. Another easy solution is to flush out your system with lots of water. All of these methods used together should be able to show you positive results within about 5 days or so. If your condition worsens, you should try to cure the infection with antibiotics. For this, you would need a medical examination.

Another reason for a smelly vagina could be lack of good hygiene. You need to clean yourself properly and also maintain the cleanliness at all times. Make sure you keep vaginal hair trimmed or remove it regularly. This will help to get rid of odors the most. This is because vaginal hair tends to trap sweat and urine in it and adds to a host of bad smells that may generally permeate the area. After this, make it a point to wash out your vagina at least two to four times a day. This will make a big difference in the smell part of the problem. Remember to use a mild soap and always wash from back to front for best results. If you wash the other way round, you may find that you are actually adding to odors. In any case, back to front is the best way to clean your genitals properly. You should also avoid wearing synthetic underwear. This will always trap perspiration within and will cause worse smells than before. Wear cotton, as this is the safest and most hygienic kind of underwear to use. Always wash your underwear after each use, even if you have worn it for just a few minutes.
