When I was a teenager and experienced vaginal odor for the first time I was absolutely confused and embarrassed.
Confused because I thought it to be a major problem and embarrassed because I found it difficult to discuss the issue with others.
Thanks to internet I was able to regain control over myself.
I scouted the net and did extensive research on how to get rid of my doubts and fears.
In this article I am going to share a few things that I found during my research and 3 natural cures which finally provided me vaginal odor relief.
Several factors play a role in a womans genital odors: genetics, age, hormonal status and balance, diet, exercise, hygiene and the menstrual cycle.
Wearing panty hose or other clothing which blocks the flow of air is the primary cause of unpleasant vaginal smell in women.
Therefore you should always wear undergarments with a cotton crotch which will permit proper air circulation in the vaginal area.
You must take good care to prevent any unnecessary dampness.
Dampness provides ideal condition for the infection causing bacteria to thrive in.
Using vaginal douche with perfumes can often irritate the vaginal lining.
This irritation, in turn, could be the cause of the unpleasant vaginal smell.
Most of perfumes contain chemicals which cause irritation.
These will merely mask the odor temporarily rather than providing permanent relief.
Avoid going too long without cleaning.
Wash your vagina with simple plain water 2 to 3 times a day.
Do not over wash.
Refrain from using perfumed soaps and sprays.
Such products are usually alcohol based and cause further irritation which can worsen your condition.
Ensure that you eat a healthy diet comprising of 4-5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day.
Eat foods without spices and avoid sauces such as soy sauce or tamari.
Follow these simple rules and your vaginal odor is bound to disappear in matter of days.
