Why, if I bathe everyday sometimes twice does my crotch still smell?!
Question: Why, if I bathe everyday sometimes twice does my crotch still smell!?
A friend of mine and I both deal with this problem!. We have bought special girl soap, cleansing cloths, all that crap, and it still smells!. As my initial !? states, I bathe everyday, sometimes twice!. I have told my doctor's about it in the past and they just put me on Yeast Infection meds everytime I bring it up!. There isn't always a discharge, but sometimes there is!. I know that other people deal with it also, and I want to know what to do about it, I want to grab my doctor by the throat and tell them it's not a Yeast infection!. This isn't a on off thing, it's been constant for years now, and I'm really tired of it!. What's even worse is my bf has noticed it and nicely asked me about it, for his sake and mine, and for the health of our love life, please HELP!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you could have Bacterial Vaginosis!. Washing the area with soap too often can make it worse as it destroys the 'good bacteria'!. Loads of women suffer from BV and don't realise what it is!. It is not an STD!. The smell is usually more noticable during or after sex and the discharge is heavier after sex!. When I had it I took a course of antibiotics (metronidazole 200mg twice a day for 7 days) and it went completely!. Some people find taking daily probiotics can prevent it from coming back as it sometimes recurs!. You shouldn't douche either as it kills off the Lactobacilli which lives naturally in the vagina, protecting it from stuff like this!. The soaps you are using might be making it worse, always use scent free and soap free shower gels to wash the vagina!.
I had this problem for months and had all sorts of tests and everything came back negative, I knew there was something not right so I asked my friend who is a gynae nurse and she was sure it was BV, so I took the antibiotics and it has completely gone!

there will always be an odor present, it should not be foul or fishy smelling!.!.!.!.same with discharge, it is natural!. The vagina produces it as a cleansing and lubrication process, it is a mucus membrance and should not be dried out!.!.!.try taking probiotics, this will help establish friendly bacteria, eliminate sugar, caffeine, nicotine if you use them, they can influence that also!. To many of the female cleansing products can alter the Ph of the vagina and make the problem worse, can also cause irritation because of perfumes and make it worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
"Avoid douching, which kills healthy vaginal flora, and thong underwear, which can transmit germs from back to front!. Both can pave the way for harmful bacteria to raise a stink!.
It's also possible that certain foods may alter your vaginal odor!. Though there's no scientific proof, you can try consuming more odor-eating foods!. Some women swear by a diet loaded with acidic fruits such as pineapple, mango, and cranberry!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

okay this is going to sound totally off the wall but I dealt with this problem also and my grandmother gave me this old recipe that really worked!.once a week or twice if I'm really sexually active that week I douche with water, vinegar, and a peroxide!. I fill like a little of half half the bottle with water, 1/4 with vinegar and then add about 3 tablespoons of peroxide!. I pinky promise that it works!. I haven't had my problem in almost two years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just seems unlucky that no one seems to know what it is and nothing can be done about it!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well woman in general do have a natural odor down there!. It is a womanly smell!. If it is stronger in you try to increase your water consuption and stay away from strong perfumy soaps!. Vinegar douches can help!. Maybe you have a bacterial infection!. Are you overweight!? Sometimes heavier woman sweat more and it increases the odor!. Not much you can do about that except lose weight!. But if you do not drink lots of water it could be your urine is strong in odor and making your whole area stinky!.
See your doctor again and tell him to do a yeast and bacterial infection test to rule those out!. If he just tells you here are some meds, tell him that you want to find the cause!. Dont wear sinthetic panties, like polyester, try to wear breathable panties, like cotton!. No silk or satin!.!.They can enhance odor because they arent very breathable materials!. Good Luck and may you have good smelling days in your future!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
