HealthCauses And Prevention Of Vaginal Odor by gistrepublic(op): 11:15am On Jun 07, 2018
Ever wondered why your vagina smells the way it does? ??

Having a vagina is one hell of a responsibility. Sure, it would be nice if we could simply throw on clothing and put it out of sight and mind until we need to use it, but it doesn’t actually work that way. Our vaginas are constantly reminding us that they're there, and hey, it’s not like we’d want to live without them. The way our vaginas smells is one way they get our attention to let us know that no, they will absolutely not be ignored until we’re ready to have sex, give birth, insert a tampon, or go for an appointment with the gynecologist.


Vaginas are self-cleaning, but they have a pretty tough job to do, in part we often intervene and make it more difficult for them to get the job done. We’re used to hearing about the usual suspects like infections and STIs, but there are actually several other surprising things that can affect how your vagina smells.

1) Your diet.

There are endless health advantages that come with paying close attention to the food we consume, and the vagina’s well-being is no exception. On the surface, it’s confusing to think about a link between your vagina and your diet, but the fact is that certain foods can wreak havoc down there, specifically because what you eat influences your vagina’s pH level, which is acidic when the vagina is healthy. For that reason, spices, onion, asparagus, broccoli, sugar, red meat, and dairy can alter the normal pH level, producing a strange smell down there
.
On the other hand, fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, a lot of water, and especially greek yogurt are major players in helping your bits maintain a pleasant odor.

2) Alcohol.

If you’ve noticed a correlation between a not-so-pleasant odor floating up from your nether region and your frequent happy hour appearances, you might want to cut back on the drinks. Excessive amounts of alcohol could potentially produce a change in vaginal odor.

3) Soaps and detergents.

Attention, product junkies: Take it easy on the multiple body washes, soaps, and yes, even bath bombs. That expensive body wash is supposed to keep things fresh, but over time, you may have discovered that it is not your vagina’s friend. Certain soaps and detergents can definitely change the way your vagina smells.
