Is vaginal odor common and natural?

Yes, vaginal odor is natural, and sometimes uncommon vaginal odor occurs even after taking good care of your vagina and your body.

The first query you should ask yourself is if you consider your vaginal odor as abnormal, but no it’s not abnormal. Every woman has their own vaginal discharge, and odor and so do vaginas. And every woman’s odor is different.

A healthy vagina’s normal scent can be described as “fleshy” or “musky”. However, in the case of the menstrual cycle, the smell might be somewhat “metallic” for a few days. Sex may change the smell for some days.

Your vagina cleanses itself in a natural way. However, if you leave your vagina to its own methods, it can maintain a healthy pH level naturally and keep the unhealthy bacteria at bay.

However, if you observe a sharp difference in your odor, then you may be experiencing a sign of an inherent problem. Itching, strong odors, irritation, and unusual vaginal odor.

Thus, here are a few ways to get out of this problem. Let’s read below:

Practice good hygiene: Clean the exterior of your vagina regularly with a bar of mild soap and with a washcloth. Cleansing your vagina will wash away sweat, dead skin, and dirt. Do not use perfumed body washes and soaps. The strong scent and chemicals can upset your pH levels.

Use only outside deodorizing products: if you want to use any perfumes or sprays, use them on the outer side of your vaginal area. Do not insert them. They can overturn the natural chemistry and lead to bigger complications.

Shift to cotton underwear: If you are wearing silk, satin, or polyester panties every day then shift to 100% cotton as cotton is breathable and absorbs any fluid and sweat from the body.

Use a pH product: counter medications and creams are very helpful for restoring your pH level. If you buy any one and after using it the odor remains the same or grows worse then immediately make an appointment with the medical practitioner. He may guide you with a different or stronger alternative prescription.

Give a try to essential oils: Essential oil remedy has very little medical research to support it but unscientific proof suggests that tea tree oil, a category of essential oil has antifungal and natural antimicrobial properties, which may help to reduce and destroy bacteria.

However, care should be used with the treatment, as it can also cause irritation to the delicate skin of your body.

Bathe in vinegar: Regular hot showers and a hot bath can bother your natural pH, but one type of bath can be beneficial which is pouring one or two cups of apple cider vinegar into a hot warm bath and soaking for 10 to 20 minutes. A bath with vinegar can naturally reduce bacteria.

Medicine Treatments: Medical treatments can help reduce underlying problems that are causing the odor. If over-the-counter or home, treatments are not successful it is advised to seek immediate medical treatment.
