It is clear that because you are here you may have a vaginal odour that is bothering you, or heaven forbid someone else. Normally as a rule a genital smell shouldn`t affect them around you, however if it does then the vaginal odour needs to be checked out by your GP. We are all aware that the smell of “pubic hair cling on stale pee” is unpleasant, but if you know your genitals are thoroughly clean and the smell “not” like urine, then the cause may need medication instead of warm water and soap. Yes girls it`s an embarrassing problem, I agree, and because I too am a girl understand your reason for rosy cheeks, nonetheless it is a health issue and needs treating. Go along to your local clinic and face up to your problem, or better still have your doctor face up to it instead.

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

Vaginal Odour – Smelly Urine Makes Pubic Hair Go Public

Written by admin on February 19, 2010 – 9:36 pm -

 

All women suffer from vaginal odour; however what type of vaginal odour is a different matter. Although we talk of odour the vagina is not an organ of the body known to smell. In fact it is odourless. How is the smell justified asks millions of affected and bewildered women that oust smells from a supposedly non smelly orifice. Confusion sets in for many women who assume vaginal odor is a natural function of their body. How can this be if the vagina is odourless? Well ladies not wanting to burst your bubble “odourless organ” or not, vaginas do smell because of causes.

If vaginal odour is caused through an infection then it can affect your health. Infections need to be treated with medication; one side affect from an infection is an itch. An itchy vagina not only is embarrassing and discomforting but more so if in the company of friends. The difference between an itch around the vagina, or an itch on your back you can not reach can be relieved by a friend. (Need I say more?)

How can vaginal odours happen if the vagina is not a smelly organ, this is a question raised by many a bemused candidate. Causes which are nominated as the culprit to why vaginal odour occurs are due to bacteria and parasites entering the vagina.

One common odour women relate to below is often referred to as smelling like fish. Bacterial vaginosis is normally the reason for the ‘fishy’ odour excreted from the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis will need medical attention to rid the infection hence taking the fishy odour with it.

Hygiene is most profound to prevent/rid particular vaginal odours. One type of smell rises from not washing the private parts thoroughly. Urine if not rinsed away after peeing can get stronger. If pubic hair is moistened by pee then the urine turns stale (rancid)therefore causing a more noticable stench to become more public which can be very embarrassing when in a crowd

Did you know that the vagina is self cleaning and aside from the fact that it is an odourless organ, then, why do vaginal odours cause such a stink among women (excuse the pun) wanting to rid their pong? Although the vagina is self cleaning, bacteria and parasites still manage to settle in the vagina thus causing infection which then causes vaginal odor.

The vagina and surrounding skin is very sensitive so be careful when using products to clean the area, Remember if you have a vaginal infection, then no matter how much you wash will not rid the smell. Cleaning the vulva needs nothing more than water. Consult with the pharmacist about any product you tend on using to clear up an infection because they may contain chemicals.

Natural oils can be stripped from the vulva through inept chemical use on the skin leaving it dry and often irritated. Because of this it leaves the smelly affected area more prone to infection. Chemical contact with the vagina can be extremely dangerous causing urinary tract infections if permitted to enter the urethra. Never use creams and lotions recommended by others because what works for one may not for the other. Medical conditions need to be determined for the right treatment to be prescribed.

Chemical based products can upset the natural PH of the vagina. The outcome of this which then results in an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, genital mycoplasmas, and gardnerella vaginalis, with reduced or absent lactobacilli.

If you have a smelly vaginal odour that gives you reason for concern or notice change in colour of discharge, the amount you lose texture and thickness, feel pain when urinating or see vaginal bleeding when not menstruating, then you must talk to your doctor.

The cure for vaginal odour is in the cause.
