ow To Get Rid Of A Bad Vaginal Smell

At some time in their lives, most women will suffer from a bad vaginal smell. Indeed studies have shown that well over half will admit to having a problem at some time when questioned. Fortunately, for many of us it is a simple passing phase which will go away on its own in a matter of a few days.

For others though it can be a persistent, recurring problem which needs attention. Although it is undoubtedly embarrassing, it is important to understand that this is very rarely due to poor hygiene. There are various simple steps which can help to get rid of a bad vaginal smell. In many cases these steps will be enough to eliminate the problem altogether.

Firstly, although it is very tempting to repeatedly wash the vaginal area to try to get rid of the smell, this is actually one of the worst things you can do. Overwashing will deplete the natural lubricants in the vagina, upsetting the natural ph balance which in turn will cause an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. This then grows out of control, causing an unpleasant fishy smell. The best practice is to wash no more than twice a day and use only unperfumed products. Again, it is tempting to use perfumed soaps and feminine deodorants to mask the odor but these will only make matters worse.

Sometimes a bad vaginal smell can be caused by a change of sexual partner. This is not necessarily due to infection or a sexually transmitted disease, but is due to a disruption in the natural ph balance caused by a new partner's sperm. Using a condom is advisable and if you feel that unprotected sex is appropriate, then phase this in gradually, allowing your body to become accustomed.

Another tip is to always ensure that you change your sanitary protection regularly. Even if you use tampons, do not leave them in place for more than a couple of hours. In addition, always ensure that you do not forget the last tampon of your period.

Many women find that wearing cotton panties can help them avoid the problem of bad vaginal odor. This is because cotton allows the vaginal area to "breathe" whereas synthetic materials can trap in moisture, providing a damp, warm environment which is a perfect breeding ground for bacterial growth. Therefore it is wise to limit the wearing of frilly, synthetic panties and stick to cotton for everyday wear.

One way of masking fishy vaginal odor is to wear a thin panty pad. They do seem to absorb some of the smell and are convenient and discreet and can be easily changed during the day-a boon if you are out and about!

The most usual cause of bad vaginal smell is a very common condition called bacterial vaginosis.If you have symptoms which include a gray or white thin vaginal discharge with a strong fishy smell with an accompanying itching or burning feeling, this is highly likely.
