We women were born and blessed with a lot of things in life connected to our bodies all of which seen as natural, but sadly some of life`s natural`s just isn`t fair. Natural means acceptance where we have no choice, but nevertheless we have the unnatural, which means something is not right and needs correcting. Vaginal odors are natural, but depending on the strength and of what the actual smell is about, is all the more reason to suspect the unnatural. Although the vagina itself is an odorless organ, every woman has a vaginal odour brought about by something or other, so we accept this; however what we do not have to accept is the unpleasantness of a specific odour.
You have to look after the vagina in respect of cleanliness. Poor hygiene is an issue looked into primarily as to being the cause. Don`t panic this is not insinuating you`re dirty, just a pointer to say that personal hygiene may not be up to the standard required by the genitals to keep smell away. Because the vagina is an odorless organ it does not generate smells, so if washing the vagina is not done properly then odor can rise. Bacteria at this specific time of poor cleansing, inhabits the vagina, thus resulting in what you believe to be the actual vagina smelling, when it is not.
It`s difficult to prevent all bacterium entering the vagina, but nevertheless you can help put a restriction on the amount of which enters. Regular questions like "Why have I got a smelly vagina"or "I wash everyday but my vagina still smells" are perfectly normal queries by worried women. Well most bacteria, parasites or yeasts inside the vagina will usually generate odors through waste or by product therefore causing characteristic smells. One smell more often asked about the cause of, is, the fishy smell. And the regular answer is nearly always answered back with "bacterial vaginosis." Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection. Most bad vaginal odors are nearly always connected to infection. A smelly vagina can happen because of many things, and chemicals being one of those. The vagina is self cleaning so needs nothing more than a little mild soap and warm water to freshen it up.
Particular bathroom toiletries contain chemicals and if in contact with the vulva it can strip it of its natural oils leaving it dry and irritated and also prone to infection (yeast.) Chemicals can potentially slip into the urethra causing urinary tract infections. Certain chemicals can upset the natural PH of the vagina which causes an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, genital mycoplasmas, and gardnerella vaginalis, with reduced or absent lactobacilli. Other signs to say something`s wrong are if there is change in your normal vaginal discharge such as color, smell and consistency. If bacterial growth unsettles this causes bacterial vaginosis, symptoms of which include a bad
‘fishy' smell and excessive discharge. Vaginal pain when peeing (urinating) should always be checked out for fear infection is the cause
