It is quite common for women to be self-conscious about their vaginal odor. These negative feelings can affect self-esteem and body image, especially during Sexual Intercourse with your partner.

However, it is also normal for the vagina to have a mild, musky smell. Research suggests that this odor is partially due to pheromones that can increase sexual attractiveness and subtly communicate information about fertility to their male partner.

This odor changes with hormonal shifts during pregnancy, menopause, and the menstrual cycle. So a subtle smell is not a cause for concern. Some other odors, however, warrant a call to a doctor.

Fishy vaginal odors:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of childbearing age. When something upsets the vagina's complex chemistry, harmful bacteria can grow out of control, producing a fishy odor.

Healthful habits can also reduce the risk of BV. Those include:

Avoiding douches, which can sometimes upset the delicate pH balance of the vagina.
Not using scented or flavored products in or around the vagina. Perfumes and other products, such as scented tampons, can alter vaginal chemistry and cause BV.
Limiting the number of sexual partners and practicing safer sex. While BV is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), multiple sexual partners can upset the bacteria balance in the vagina, causing BV. So, ladies please try to limit the number of your sexual partners, if possible. Practicing safe sex, by using protective measures, will also go a long way in protecting yourself from BV, STI and STD's.

Sometimes interactions between semen and vaginal fluids can cause vaginal odor. Some lubricants can also change vaginal pH and the odor that comes with it. To reduce the odor associated with vaginal intercourse:

Use a condom to prevent semen from coming into contact with vaginal fluids. Compare different condom brands and products to choose the most suitable one to purchase.
Rinse the vagina and vulva with plain water following intercourse. Do not douche.
Avoid using scented or flavored lubricants.

Other odors:

Hormonal changes during menopause may alter the scent of the vagina, and leave the vagina feeling dry.

Some STIs, notably trichomoniasis, may also alter the smell of the vagina. Any shift in vaginal odor, particularly if the smell is strong or unpleasant, demands a trip to the doctor. It is not recommended to use perfume to mask the smell.

Certain types of clothing can trap things in or around the vagina such as:

sweat
dead skin
discharge
leaked semen from earlier intercourse
other sources of odor

Very tight-fitting clothing is a common culprit. That includes some shape wear. Fecal matter that travels to the vagina can cause infections and odors, so avoid clothing that encourages this spread. This includes tight-fitting thong underwear.

Breathable cotton is the best choice for women concerned about vaginal odor. Cotton is less likely to hold moisture close to the vagina. This makes it more difficult for bacteria and other sources of odor to accumulate and produce a strong smell.

Your Diet can play a large factor in your Vaginal Odor. Very sugary foods can trigger an overgrowth of yeast, thus altering the odor of the vagina.

It's also important to drink plenty of water. Remaining well-hydrated prevents bacterial overgrowth. It can also prevent sweat from smelling bad, resulting in less pronounced vaginal odor.

Ladies, I hope that you all found these Vagina Health Care tips to be helpful.
