Odor down there. help!?!


Question:

Odor down there. help!?

i've had this problem for some time now but havent really done anything about it. i have a mild odor down there. sometimes when i open my legs, to sit or something, i can smell it. im not dirty and i bathe everyday, and sometimes if i dont have time to bath one day, i use feminine wipes and clean myself but they dont seem to make it go away. i dont think i have an infection because i rarely get an itch [when i do get an itch i have this prescription cream that makes it go away] and my discharge is white and very little. the only problem i have is the smell. is there anything i can buy to make it go away. and i dont douche.

Answers:

Well, it depends on what kind of odor you have..Normally, some sort of an odor is expected, often described as musky in books, some call it a salty seawater odor.. Nevertheless there is no real way to describe it because every woman has her own kind of odor, depending not only on hygeine but also on food habit. Considering, the kind of sanitary habits you have, I dont think it is any kind of infection. You are just 15, so I'm guessing all this is quite new to you and you maybe unaccustomed to your own odor.
However a "fishy" odor is generally thought to be indicative of bacterial infection. This maybe caused by underclothing that do not allow air to circulate "down there", or excessive sweating.
So try to understand, what kind of odor it is. If you find it unduly bothersome, try cotton/ non-synthetic/ non-spandex underclothing. However, if the smell still bothers you, then try visiting a gynaecologist, just to confirm if in fact you have a problem.

:-) until then, best of luck with growing up and discovering the various nuances of you body with time.
