What Causes Vagina Discharge With Offensive Odour? by Repez: 6:14am On Oct 25, 2020
Vaginal odour is one of the major problems of most women. Before thinking about trying out vaginal odor treatments, let’s discuss some common causes of vaginal odor.

CAUSES OF VAGINAL ODOUR

�Infection - Women who have bacterial vaginosis tend to have an unpleasant odor. Also known as vaginal bacteriosis, this infection is mostly experienced by women of childbearing age.

Having a sexual intercourse with a new partner is one of the reasons of acquiring the infection although it’s not considered a sexually transmitted infection. Yeast infection can lead to discharge, soreness and itching. Your vagina has good and bacteria and it needs balance in order to be healthy.

�Hormones - Your hormones change during ovulation and when you’re having your period. During menopausal stage, you may experience a smelly and watery discharge because your estrogen level is lowered.

�Sweat - When it’s sweaty down there, then expect it to be smelly. Blame your sweat glands and bacteria. Like your armpits, eyelids and ear canals, your vagina also has apocrine sweat glands. Such glands secrete fluid with the presence of bacteria which can cause fishy vaginal discharge.

So what makes your vagina happy? Here are eight effective home remedies to get rid of vaginal odor:


1. Apple Cider Vinegar

The presence of bacteria is one of the reasons why there is vaginal odor that’s why you need something with antibacterial and antiseptic properties such as apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar is one of the best choices to eliminate vaginal odor, either by drinking or having a warm bath. For menopausal women, it’s natural to have low estrogen levels and less acidity.

Apple cider vinegar contains the much needed acidity and antiseptic quality to fight the bacteria.

PROCEDURE
Mix a glass of water with two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar everyday. If you don’t like the strong taste of vinegar, a tablespoon is okay. Or you can mix it with honey.
A warm bath can be soothing for your vagina. Try mixing two cups of apple cider vinegar in warm bath water and soak for 20 -25 minutes to kill the bacteria.


2. Tea Tree Oil
Most feminine wash products today contain tea tree oil. Like the apple cider vinegar, it also has antiseptic properties that can help fight off toxins and bacteria.

PROCEDURE
If you’re a regular tampon user, you can dip it in olive oil and add a few drops of tea tree oil in it.
For strong vaginal odor, try adding a few drops of tea tree oil to a cup of water whenever you’re washing your genital.

3. Yogurt
Consuming yogurt is healthy not only for you but for your vagina too! Yogurt has lactobacillus bacteria, a good kind of bacteria that help fight candida infection, considered one of the common reasons of having vaginal odor.

Yogurt is helpful for most women who have low estrogen levels because it helps balance your normal vaginal pH level.

PROCEDURE
Eat unsweetened plain yogurt everyday. Try probiotic supplements.
If you don’t like the taste of yogurt, you can try soaking a tampon in your yogurt and insert the tampon in your body. Rinse and remove the tampon after two to three hours.

4. Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the most common household products that you can easily find in the kitchen. Aside from being used for baking cakes and pies, it’s also used as a cleaning agent to absorb odors by neutralizing pH levels.

Baking soda neutralizes your vaginal pH level, eliminating yeast infection and your unpleasant vaginal smell.

PROCEDURE
Add one-half cup of baking soda in your warm bath water and enjoy soaking in it for fifteen to twenty minutes.


�Avoid wearing too tight jeans
Your vagina is sensitive that’s why it needs extra care. Wearing tight jeans prevents proper ventilation of your vagina and groin area.

If you live an active lifestyle, avoid wearing tight clothing because it’s your sweat glands can be the reason why you’re smelly down there. Oxygen is important to have a healthy and happy vagina.

�Proper Hygiene
Having a good hygiene routine is important to get rid of your vaginal odor. If you regularly go to the gym, make sure to shower after because being sweaty means having bacteria and being smelly down there. Source: Internet.
