i have been like this for as long as i no, i go in the bath or shower clean myself, within 2 hours i smellSmell - impaired Stools - foul smelling downstairs, how can i help this, its really horrible to because ill go in the shower be4 i go to my boyfriends an we'll have a play n i smellSmell - impaired Stools - foul smelling as if i havent washed, please help me
Feminine washes/sprays/deodorants, yuck. We all have a scent, and it's not supposed to be roses, lol. But if the smellSmell - impaired Stools - foul smelling is unpleasant, see your doctor. As another poster noted, you probably have an infection.
Which brings me to my other point - NEVER douche. I can't say this strongly enough. Not only is that more likely to trigger an infection by upsetting the balance of bacteria in your vagina, but you could force any infection you might have deeper, leading to PID.
I agree w/ monkeyflower. Douching can actually cause infections, not help with odor.
You need to see a doc, b/c abnormal odor (fishy smell, with or without odd discharge) is a sign of infection. And some bacterial infections don't even have symptoms.
Find a doc, and see if there's something you can treat.
Also, overly washing, even with regular soap can cause you to get an infection. I know that doesn't make sense, but there are normal levels of bacteria that live in the vagina all the time, and if you wash too much, it disrupts this natural balance.
Just see a doc.
Well I have a couple people who I spoke to in regards to the dettol and my mother was the first to tell me about it. You can actually bathe with the dettol first and then bathe with ordinary soap or vice versa. I used it when I used to play sports to keep the sweaty smell off of me. It worked and surprisingly like for 8hrs. I mean every body is different but this definately worked for me. But please dilute it it is really strong.
My GYN told me about douching with banking soda and water. Make sure the water has been boiled. He explains while douching with abrasive cleaners like vinegar and such may upset your vagina natural ability to produce good bacteria fighting enzymes, banking soda is a solvent detergent which means it can be pumped through your veins, its non toxic. It really works. My GYN called me "a juicy girl". By that he meant I produce alot of fluid which causes odor and bacteria. I tell you this b/c since I have been douching with the banking soda; I have not had problems with odor. I can douche with it everyday or every week, and I have not had problems with infections that I had when I douched with vinegar and water. People once used banking powder as deodorant and in the creases of the skin, some still do.
Do you have a lot of discharge because i feel like I always do its gross it feel like i get my period when its actually just a load of discharge?? is this normal???
I was told by my doctor that wiping from the front to the back can make a difference! I tried it and a lot of my odor went away. Don't know if that helps, but try to always wipe from your vagina towards your rectum if you don't already.
i SOMETIMES GET THE MOST OFFENSIVE SMELL, IT REMINDS ME OF A SULPHUR TYPE SMELL, SOMETIMES ITS A VERY ROTTEN SMELL. I WENT TO THE DR AND FOUND I HAD A BACTERIAL INFECTION, IT WENT AWAY WITH MEDICATION.IS YOUR ALWAYS PRESENT OR DOES IT COME AND GO? DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND NOTICE IT?
it's normal...a few years ago, i had the same problem...i started using Summer's Eve Fem. wash down there during my showers and then I used the Summer's Eve lotion after my shower...ever since then, I haven't had ANY issues...so yeah...but if it's coming from the inside, then I would suggest seeing a doc...might be an infection that can more than likely get cleared up with some medication. Good luck! :)
i am having a fishy smell and its really bad sometimes i have been with my boyfriend for about a year now and he can smell it too when we are having sex but i dont have any discharge or ichieness what is wrong?
yeah I know exactly what your all saying about fishy smells, discharging..rotten oders I got it all.. everytime I went in to get a papsmear they give me results stating that I am ok.. no problem..but why do I smell horrible? its imbarrassing to walk around and you know you own smell either rotten or fresh..if it stinks that bad and u still smell it when ur standing up..thats sad! I'm still tryna find answers why the dirty oder still remains no matter if I ******...i'd wash up like 3 times a day..then I fully shower my whole body like 3 times a week. I don't smell its my kitty cat "*****" that gets the oder.

Maybe you have the bacteria vaginosis. Its an infection that causes for a women to smell fishy and have discharge. Tell your doc to check you for that. Goodluck
I was trying to go D**N on my g/f last night but the smell around her vigina (vagina) is really really strong and i just couldn't do anything. I don't want to tell her because i don't know her well and we've been in relationship for 2 weeks so far. Is there any way to prevent it....?? or should be talknig to her about it....?
I've had bacterial vaginosis twice this year. The doctor gave me medication. I noticed it helps when I use cotton underwear. Howver, I sometimes feel the strong smell coming from the inside. Also my skin there itches and looks not smooth. I am not sexually active at the time
I have an odor that smells like B.O. I get it pretty often, not all the time. I have gotten it ever since i was 13. It's so embarrassing. I hate to go to the bathroom where i know someone else is going to go in behind me. I don't want them to smell it. I have never heard of a B.O. odor coming from down there before. Have any of you? What is it and what do you do about it? I take a shower everyday and sometimes when i come home that evening I'll smell like it. Sometimes it is very strong and other times it's not. The smell is usually just in my panties. Please help!
i have some like horrible dischrge on my pants and sometimes smells horrible i dont want to go 2 the doctors because i am embarrased could you help me and tell me what it mite be please? x

It's sad that because of some guys running around saying that girl's vaginas smell like fish etc, a lot of us get paranoid into thinking that our vaginas smell like this or have some other offensive odor. Vaginas have offensive odors when they are infected by bacteria or fungus.
Having these thoughts that a your healthy genitals smell causes alot of you to start "scrubbing"away until you've upset the normal balance inside your vagina - I really hope NO ONE washes inside their vagina with soap! All vaginas have a smell, a musty sort of smell, this is normal. It isn't suppose to smell like perfume, talc, lotion, strawberries, chocolate, whatever.
Just regular hygiene is all that is needed (that is only wash the exterior - no one needs to d o u c h e), use a ph balanced body wash rather than soap and use a panty liner and change it through the day as necessary to catch your cycle mucus. The amount of mucus changes throughout your menstrual cycle, being more profuse during ovulation (mid cycle). So if you do have an abnormal odor go and get it seen to by a doctor and then stop causing this vicious cycle by over cleaning and spraying perfumes down there. Seriously, what guy wants a mouth full of perfume when he does the deed.
Men's penises have a smell too and can really be offensive if they don't bathe, especially if uncircumcised!
PS make sure you drink enough fluid during the day or your urine can become concentrated and really smell bad too, which can leave an odor after going to the toilet.
......this all makes sense...on not douching and stuff and using specific cleanser's , i have had these problems (fishy smell, discharge but no itching), i have been to a doctor and they said i have nothing....what causes it?? what does bacterial viagnosis do to you? is it gonna cause problems when im older.....i dont like taking prescribed medication because of the side effects.....is there any home remedies that we could all try?? i have been in a relationship for five years im 18 and it htis started when i was 17, it puts me down and it kind of gets embarassing......my partener understands but its such a turn off......how can i get rid of this ..its stressful!! what kind of ingredients can i look for in a specific soap or body wash that will help this problem......is doucheing with water a bad idea?? anyone fill me in :)
Everyone talks about a "fishy" vagina odor. what causes my vagina to smell like a "cat". sually after a workout or if I've been sweating. This is a "new" smell to me. I am 40 years old, ran track all my life, but This is a new smell. Any explanations/
I am so glad I came on here. I am going through so much with my self it's drive'n me crazy. I have a "fishy" and "musty" oder one day it's good and normal next day it's back. I started get'n like this after my number 2 child was born.. like about a couple of months later.. in 2001.. Sheesh 8 years it comes and goes. But now it's here and it just won't go away!! I don't itch but the discharge is killing me I have to use about 4 to 6 panty liners a day that's two each time. I also wear only cotton panties. Discharges comes clear like water, then thick and white, then yellow and at times red. I have been to three DoCz and they all tell me nothing is wrong. Had Three PaPz and every thing is normal. How normal can it be when I can smell myself. My husband and I can't smell it when we are have'n sex but man after a few hours after sex I can. No itches, no burning, no pains just smelly hows that for a life with the "kItTy KaT". I'm going to see the DoC again on Monday and this time I'ma ask for some kind of pills to kill any infection I might have..
Thank you all for share'n I really thought I was the only one out there with this problem. God bless and Wishing you all Luck for a cure or treatment.
I have bacteria infetion and I whent to the doc. He give me some kind of medication, was not really helped. I do shave the my hair overthere all the time.
Becauese i still have white discharge and smell , i wonder if that couse
my boil, wich I just got it very first time in my life. So painfull.
I am so ambarresed. Can shaving plus the disharge couse boil?
It is like double trouble! Help me! By the way i read a lot of good idea of
healing boil at home on internet. It is working. But i am so affraid , that is can happen again, if any other time in my life going to have a bacteria, with discharge and I will shave can the boil happen again?
If you had this smell ever since you could remeber and don't have any of the given syptoms (symptoms) of the above. Do you wear Panti liners? if so try changing the brand or if they are deoderant wear nondeoderant sometimes the deoderant scented ones are the cause of the smell. But if that is not it then use woolite for your undergarments.And if that is not it my husband said that he had a encounter with smelling a female down there and he said it was because she had weight in her inner thighs and no air circulation, because her inner thighs rubbed.. What do you think?
I've been diagnosed with bacterial infections i had it now for five years on and off everytime i go to the doctor thats what i have so i get medication and it goes away for about two weeks and then it comes back i smell fishy rotten lots of thick mucus greyish come out i have to wear pantyliners at all times i even sometimes put a tampax so the mucus dont come out cuz that where the smell comes from a few months ago i was diagnosed with cancerous cells so i had a hysterectomy and now its been one month and i still have the infection the smell and mucus i really dont know what to do i went to see a natural path and she told me it had to do whith my hormones and everytime you take antiobotics you kill your good bacterie down there and she is saying that i dont have good bacteries left so now i have to take acidophillus for one month and i have to go back and see her i still have the infection today its two months now im very frustrated with these problems i hope it will all go away soon hopefully the natural path will help me cuz the doctor cant he always precribe medication and it always come back if anyone was cured please let me know what u did thank you and now i have other problems lots of cramping in the stomach and also in the rectum i dont know if its related but all your bacteries are living in your vagina and inestine and also in your rectum so i think its all related so ya they say acidophillus pills and also yogurt to try to get your good bacteries to come back something like that
I am only 14 and I havent started my period
but like 3 days ago I noticed like 3 or 4 cuts
in my vigina (vagina) they hurt and sometimes bleed
can ya'll please help me
I can't go to a doctor b/c I don't want to tell
my parents about it.
i randomly came across this site... i didnt really realise home many ppl get commen infections
i jus recently came of antis for a nasty cold i have and have had for nearly a month. i havent had sex for a bit over 2 weeks. a few days ago proberly week ago i randomly started having a itch. commonly its known women on antis can easily have a yeast infection so i went down to chem and purhcased a antifungal cream. the itching does go away but is sometimes slightly still there. just the be safe ive been eating alot of youghut , drinking cranberr juice and doing vinigar rinses when i have a shower.. i have a shower twice and day and wear cotton underwear. i know i dont have a STI coz ive only had unprotected sex with one person and thats my current boyfriend and ive been with him for a year so surely if he had a STI or STD i would have recieved it long before now.
the only issue is i have just gotten my period and was using a tampon, and i had just read its not advisable to use tapoms, use pads. i had a shower today and had a uncomfortable buring feel and now when i walk i get a light buring feeling. i am now only using pads.
am i do all the right things?
im not keen on going to the docs and go on medication considering that medical is what started off. and im still not even better from my cold. i dont have a smell and it doesnt seem much discharge is commin out. it seems its jus of the out side. its a bit red no bumps that i can detect.
When im on my period i expect myself to have that normal odor of bl***. but what does it mean if im not on my period and i can constantly "smell" myself as if i were on my period. It is a really offensive odor and not normal for my vigina (vagina) to smell this way all the time. Is there anything i can do?
well im 28 years old and for the first time in my life i smell the inside of my vagina this has been goin on for about two months. I thought i was the only one that notice until my girlfriend and I was in a heated debate an in a tangent she bluted out how she dont never wanna give me oral sex because my irgina smells fishy i was shocked so now we havent had sex for over a month and ive tried everything for this smell spray perfume norforms which i hate ****** store brought as well as homeade with vinegar of course it goes away for two maybe three days then its back again im scared im doin some irrevirsible damage and i dont have no health coverage for the doctor please help me what should i do
sincerely reaccuring smells
So I have an oddor. I can smell it. It smells like dirty sex.
I wash myself very well but it still comes back. I would be tottaly
up to going to the doctor. But I was recently sexualy abused by three
diffrent males and now I don`t like people touching me.
What doctors exactly do when your getting checked out for infections in the vigina (vagina)?
Please Help !!!!!!!!!*
If you are having an odor and you were abused by three different men you NEED to go to the doctor. Have you ever had a pap smear? It will be the same thing. The doctor inserts a tool into your vagina so she can see your cervix, then just takes a long cotton swab and brushes it inside your vagina. It will only take a minute or two and really doesn't hurt, maybe just for a second.
Request a female doctor if that will make you feel better.
i have had this smell for as long as i can tell. the thing is nobody is saying anything about the cause of this infection. i really want to know coz today was horrible i was making out with my boyfreind when he sudenly got turned off coz he couldent stand the smell from my vagina, i felt like the earth was goin to swallow me up. please help if you can coz from researches that i made i heard it could lead to pregnancy issues, which means big trouble.... pls help......................................
GIRLS!!! Be carefull of these posts, as many of you are speculating on the right thing to do.
Im a nurse, not saying i know everything, but if you have ANY concerns, go to your doctor, get a Pap Smear if your sexually active, get an STI check, and make sure they take vaginal swobs to see if there are any abnormalities. Some symptoms may be as simple as thrush- caused by an increased in yeasty products in the system, i.e. beer and bread... or may be a serous infection i.e if your discharge is green, bubbly etc!!
It is normal to have a little amount of whitish discharge throughout your menstral cycle, you will also notice it will go clear as well- good time to get pregnate during this time. Changes in your hormones also changes things. Your vagina cleans its self through this mucus production, therefore it is important not to douch, because you are washing out all the good bacteria in your vagina, which has been mentioned- could cause an infection- douching is also addictive!! because it takes a while for all your vaginas bacteria to return to normal.
Instead of trying to resolve your symptoms, look at the cause- that is why your doctor will take a swob of inside your vagina to see under a microscope what will be grown-
For those that dont know what the doctor will do, they will put a smooth speculum into your vagina to open up the passage way to say, your cervix, it doesnt hurt, especially if you had sex already
There is no point being embarrassed about seeing a doctor. It is tottally confidential, they have seen too many vagina to even remember- they should be non-judgement (there still human) but if you find a doctor you can talk to on your level (i.e same sex doctors) then stick too them
Hope this helps
i have the same problems. my paps are normal. i can't go a whole day w/out a shower/bath. if i do go longer than a day, the discharge irritates the outer vagina. the smell is similar to a light sewage smell. the color is a thick pearly white. i smell it through my jeans and it doesn't smell as bad when i smell my underwear. i think not washing inside the vigina (vagina) with soap helps and not douching. douching upset the p.h. balance. it doesn't smell bad in the middle of sex, unless i haven't bathed. eat alot of yogourt and stop eating alot of sugar. that upsets the va-jay-jay. umm....if it smell like fish in the middle of sex, it may be clamidiha. trust me, i had it ounce before.
I wouldn't say I have a fishy smell .It's more like a strong body odor. I have ask my husband if he can smell it when he is just standing next to me but he says it's only when we have sex. I don't have a discharge or itchy feeling. It's completely embarrassing and I don't know how to get rid of it.Please HELP!!!!
im so glad i got on here, because i thought i was the only one! I hate how much discharge i have everyday of my life!!! i mean ive found some helpful tips on here about like other odors but the discharge is so embarrasing and its the thing that starts to stink after a while. and on top of that i get sweaty too!! but like i know i dont have an infection because ive been this way since i was like 12. and i dont want to go to the doctor just to ask him about the discharge, because i haven't even had sex yet. but i dont want to wear stinkin pantie liners everyday for the rest of my life!!!...im so irritated an at a loss of what to do.
I HATE BV!! When I first got it I assumed it was the worst thing possible (HIV) ad it gave me such horrible anxiety. The smell just completely grossed me out and I just took it to the extreme. I NEVER knew how common it was. I never knew about it, I feel good talking to and reading everyones posts. its good we are all in this together. BV gave me some anxiety that i still have today, but the little things can have big affects. Its crazy. I did it to myself, I am on meds and seeking therapy.
But I am here to help if anyone needs to talk! as I go to college for psychology.
Mine smells really bad. It's like disguisting. IT WON'T STOP LEAKING. And it's kinda clear whithish color. Glad I'm not the only one. I DON'T WANT AN INFECTION!! Help me. . .
sounds like you got a yeast infection girl, go get some vagasil or monostat, also wouldnt be a bad idea if youve been sexually active, to go to the nearst clinic and get tested for STD's ... hope this helps... White Witch8
Hi I have this ugly smell 2...I'm a virgin ...so i'm sure it's not an STD and I won't stop leaking clear whitish gooey thingy...which is disgusting ....I always had it and thought it was normal until today my sister told me I smell :(:(:(:(
my child is now one year old after having her i thought it would take some time for things to settle back down i had a coil inserted 3months after having her. periods have stopted and things are smelly i can smell it by tea time every day i shower or bath every day this still happens i cant wear i pair of trouses for more that a day! i feel so ashamed i wont have intercourse its now been 13 months my partener is goin insaine! before i had my child things were fine there and docs havent picked up on anything after birth and on checks down there. help what is wrong?
I have had this problem with a vaginal discharge off and on for the last three years. I have no idea why this is happeneing, I only wish it wasn't to me! As you all know, it's embarassing and makes you feel insecure about getting down in the sheets with your guy. Personally myself, I am a very sexual and outgoing person..but this has totally shut me up. It's hurting my relatioship. I was thinking of doing the baking soda and boiled water ******..but I have heard they are just really bad to do. I just wish it would stop! The only thing I can think of, after I have my regular appts with my OBGYN and everything comes back "Fine" is that somehow it's just the mix of myself with my guy. I have been in other long relationship with other guys since this has happened, and there was absolutley no smell! EVER! Maybe it's just a sign that we do not belong together after all...crazy to think but why was I fine and dandy down there with other guys??
A gyn once told me to use a natural soap like Ivory (not the new perfumed one, the baby kind) for cleansing the vagina because perfumed soaps can cause yeast infections and other irritations, which can make us a little too fragrant. He also said that we shouldn't really be cleaning the inside with soap. Ivory is best for me. (We all stink! LOL).
I had BV before.. I'd always have it when I have sex. I've BV 3 or 4 times already. My gyne told me that this is caused by an abnormality/change in the pH level of my vagina. The penis has a diff pH level because it just hangs outside. The vagina is different because it's more delicate/sensitive. She gave me flagyl.
However, it's normal to have bad odour coming from the vagina right after intercourse. Remember, when we do the deed. It's like the fluids are mixed, and this results to that smell. Also when the vagina is recovering from a cut right after sex, you'd also notice the smell there. It doesn't have a very strong smell...just light fishy-like smell. If it becomes really bad after a week or so, SEE A DOCTOR. It is not enough to tell people about it and listen to advice.
It feels so good that I wasn't the only one suffering from it. I also got depressed and frustrated when i was going thru that. It was terrible.
Okay, for starters i want to say that i certainly felt insecure and alone until yesterday when i stumbled upon this site. I have read allot of posts by people and i honestly feel like i have it the worst! everywhere i go I hear comments like, "what is that smell!?" This is so embarassing but Im 17 and no one wants to sit beside me in class. At first i thought i was compley paranoid and there was nothing wrong with me. This is because of comso magazine that told me that no one else could smell the odour that came from my vagina but god were they wrong! I cant even begin to explain the comments people have made to me on purpose and unknowingly but they're truley aweful. My boyfriend doesnt mention it but i know he can smell it. He knows how insecure i am already. I'm so glad i decided to read all of these posts because i thought that if i cleaned more it would help but it DEFINATLY doesnt. I was at a small party last weekend with all people i knew well and i went in the hot tub. I didnt notice but everyone in the room was making terrible comments to eachother abut my ocour thinking i was cluless. Im curious if being in the hottub irritated me and caused the odour?
It was such a traumtizing experience that i had a mental breakdown a few days ago. I have been pulled out of school on mental leave by my parents until i see a doctor in a few days. They dont know the real reason behind it but i plan on telling my doctor. Its a horrible feeling thinking that there is something wrong with you and your totally alone in it but i geuss Im not huh?
I would have gone to the doctor about the smell earlier but i have never been looked at and im VERY inecure about how i look down there.
I am almost 60 years old and still sexually active.When I was young, my mother taught me to be conscious of this problem and to stay clean. I never had one comment from any man or anyone else that I had an odor. I had the opposite.....Men would tell me that I had NO ordor or that I smelled wonderful. After my first divorce, I was VERY sexually active. I married as a virgin and my husband gave me CHLAMYDIA AFTER HE HAD BEEN HAVING SEX WITH OTHER WOMEN. I began having a yellow heavy discharge and noticed the odor myself, even with clothes on. This was like a dead animal odor. It didn't take me but a few days until I knew something was wrong. I went to see a gynocologist and was diagnosed with CHLAMYDIA. If you have an odor like this and wash every day; something is wrong physically. By the way, this disease also caused me to be unable to get pregnant.
I also used to have a lot of yeast infections. Because I washed every day, it was not an offensive odor; but, it could have been. Wearing pantyhose and somehow throwing off the natural balance of yeast can cause this......Illness, douches, antibiotics, etc.
If you have a fishy odor, be conscious of whether you have had sex with a man the day, night, or morning before. Semen left in the vagina will cause a fishy odor after awhile. I once used the sponge for birth control and found that it made it even worse..
I also know that men who have not been circumcised can have about the same kind of odor that women have. Women only have "offensive" odors if they have an infection, disease, or, just does not stay clean. Other than that, we have a natural odor just as men have on their testicles. Many men like this natural clean smell.
THINGS TO DO:
Wash with a mild soap every day and dry off well....A hair dryer helps.
Wear clean underwear every day and do not wipe from back to front.
If you are not trying to get pregnant, get up after sex and sit on the commode to get the semen out.
Try to stay healthy and conscious of your cleanliness and you should not have an offensive odor.
i need help . i have a strong discharge after sitting for a long time . its been happening for about a year . but only ever so ofter prolly like 6 times this past year . my pee is strong all the time . the discharge smells like a real strong chemical smell and goes away after i bath , but its so strong that other people can smell it while standing beside me
mine smells bad too. sumtyms it smells like a fish but sometimes it smells like "cracklings" [crackers w/c are sour due to vinegar]
i'm still a virgin that's why i know it's not std.
please help me.. i'm so conscious once i'm walking on a crowded area and people and are sitting and they are close to my..u know.. can they smell it???:((
Hey im 18 years old right, and i havent had sex in almost two weeks, I got checked up n i dont have gonnehera or chalamydia and it was negative and so was the pregnancy test,but i had a bacteria infection. They gave me something for it n for the other two i mention just for save keeping. Then for the last two days i have got a light yellow discharge with an odor and my period is due like in 5 days, should i worry ?
I do not think this is anything you need to worry about! Although if it does continue to get worse then you should of course go see the doC!! Good luck ;)

Dam the answer is so simple I just had to tell it here.
I have had 3 girlfriends with smelly *****. And all 3 I cured with baking soda..
Simple. Your ph is off so get you ph right.. About 7.5 to 7.8
Eat baking soda until your ph goes up to 7.5 and keep it there. Thank you thank you thank you.. Donations at ***@****
More? ok take two teaspoons of baking soda a day with 8 glasses of water,, not 5 or 6.. 8.. yes you have to pee more .. Tough it out...
Yes the baking soda used to clean toilets. Eat it.. It will rise your ph..
More? So how to test your ph.. Buy a ph tester from an enzyme company.
O by the way.. Baking soda also cures Gout, acid reflux, stomach ulcers, bladder infections etc etc etc..
So just do it.
And to all you legal drug dealers (doctors) selling drugs to people for profit, knowing that the real solution is a cook book away,, **** you!!!
Oh and get this last one.. Cancer cells die in a body with a ph of 7.6 or higher.
So eat your baking soda and lets bankrupt the cancer therapy clinics.
And yes do all the other stuff of eating right and taking good bacteria (primadophilus reuteri) and I would even suggest a holistic doctor.. but please stay away from main stream doctors and drugs.
Ok lets see how long this post stays up.. Since the Pharmaceutical companies own everything I will probably be getting a visit from a hit man for posting this. So bring it on Pfizer I am not afraid of you..!!!!!
ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda™ not Animal, not Vegetable, but Mineral!
Baking Soda, alias sodium bicarbonate, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate. To make ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda, the soda ash is mined in the form of an ore called trona. The soda ash is then dissolved into a solution through which carbon dioxide is bubbled and sodium bicarbonate precipitates out, forming "Pure, Safe and Natural"
ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda. You remember that from chemistry class, don't you?

As we mentioned, baking soda helps regulate pH—keeping a substance (*****) neither too acidic (sour tasting), nor too alkaline. Think of pH as a see-saw, with acidic pH tilting one way, alkaline pH tilting the other way, and neutral pH when the see-saw is level. When ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda comes in contact with either an acidic or an alkaline substance, it's natural effect is to neutralize that extreme pH - tilting the see- saw back toward level. And beyond that, baking soda has the capability to resist further changes in the pH balance - keep the see-saw level--this is called buffering.
So what's the big deal? Well for us, this neutralizing and buffering capability is the science behind how our
ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is so effective for so many uses. Whether it's neutralizing acidic (sour tasting) smells in your refrigerator to keep milk from tasting like last nights dinner, or maintaining a neutral pH in your laundry water so your detergent can work best, or stabilizing your pool water pH to keep it clear, it's this science that explains how

Which brings me to my other point - NEVER douche. I can't say this strongly enough. Not only is that more likely to trigger an infection by upsetting the balance of bacteria in your vagina, but you could force any infection you might have deeper, leading to PID.
You need to see a doc, b/c abnormal odor (fishy smell, with or without odd discharge) is a sign of infection. And some bacterial infections don't even have symptoms.
Find a doc, and see if there's something you can treat.
Also, overly washing, even with regular soap can cause you to get an infection. I know that doesn't make sense, but there are normal levels of bacteria that live in the vagina all the time, and if you wash too much, it disrupts this natural balance.
Just see a doc.
thanks
thanks
Having these thoughts that a your healthy genitals smell causes alot of you to start "scrubbing"away until you've upset the normal balance inside your vagina - I really hope NO ONE washes inside their vagina with soap! All vaginas have a smell, a musty sort of smell, this is normal. It isn't suppose to smell like perfume, talc, lotion, strawberries, chocolate, whatever.
Just regular hygiene is all that is needed (that is only wash the exterior - no one needs to d o u c h e), use a ph balanced body wash rather than soap and use a panty liner and change it through the day as necessary to catch your cycle mucus. The amount of mucus changes throughout your menstrual cycle, being more profuse during ovulation (mid cycle). So if you do have an abnormal odor go and get it seen to by a doctor and then stop causing this vicious cycle by over cleaning and spraying perfumes down there. Seriously, what guy wants a mouth full of perfume when he does the deed.
Men's penises have a smell too and can really be offensive if they don't bathe, especially if uncircumcised!
PS make sure you drink enough fluid during the day or your urine can become concentrated and really smell bad too, which can leave an odor after going to the toilet.
Thank you all for share'n I really thought I was the only one out there with this problem. God bless and Wishing you all Luck for a cure or treatment.
Becauese i still have white discharge and smell , i wonder if that couse
my boil, wich I just got it very first time in my life. So painfull.
I am so ambarresed. Can shaving plus the disharge couse boil?
It is like double trouble! Help me! By the way i read a lot of good idea of
healing boil at home on internet. It is working. But i am so affraid , that is can happen again, if any other time in my life going to have a bacteria, with discharge and I will shave can the boil happen again?
but like 3 days ago I noticed like 3 or 4 cuts
in my vigina (vagina) they hurt and sometimes bleed
can ya'll please help me
I can't go to a doctor b/c I don't want to tell
my parents about it.
i jus recently came of antis for a nasty cold i have and have had for nearly a month. i havent had sex for a bit over 2 weeks. a few days ago proberly week ago i randomly started having a itch. commonly its known women on antis can easily have a yeast infection so i went down to chem and purhcased a antifungal cream. the itching does go away but is sometimes slightly still there. just the be safe ive been eating alot of youghut , drinking cranberr juice and doing vinigar rinses when i have a shower.. i have a shower twice and day and wear cotton underwear. i know i dont have a STI coz ive only had unprotected sex with one person and thats my current boyfriend and ive been with him for a year so surely if he had a STI or STD i would have recieved it long before now.
the only issue is i have just gotten my period and was using a tampon, and i had just read its not advisable to use tapoms, use pads. i had a shower today and had a uncomfortable buring feel and now when i walk i get a light buring feeling. i am now only using pads.
am i do all the right things?
im not keen on going to the docs and go on medication considering that medical is what started off. and im still not even better from my cold. i dont have a smell and it doesnt seem much discharge is commin out. it seems its jus of the out side. its a bit red no bumps that i can detect.
if anyone can suggest anything else i can do
sincerely reaccuring smells
I wash myself very well but it still comes back. I would be tottaly
up to going to the doctor. But I was recently sexualy abused by three
diffrent males and now I don`t like people touching me.
What doctors exactly do when your getting checked out for infections in the vigina (vagina)?
Please Help !!!!!!!!!*
Nikole- look it up and don't do it, it only causes more problems.
Request a female doctor if that will make you feel better.
I hope you reported this sexual abuse.
Im a nurse, not saying i know everything, but if you have ANY concerns, go to your doctor, get a Pap Smear if your sexually active, get an STI check, and make sure they take vaginal swobs to see if there are any abnormalities. Some symptoms may be as simple as thrush- caused by an increased in yeasty products in the system, i.e. beer and bread... or may be a serous infection i.e if your discharge is green, bubbly etc!!
It is normal to have a little amount of whitish discharge throughout your menstral cycle, you will also notice it will go clear as well- good time to get pregnate during this time. Changes in your hormones also changes things. Your vagina cleans its self through this mucus production, therefore it is important not to douch, because you are washing out all the good bacteria in your vagina, which has been mentioned- could cause an infection- douching is also addictive!! because it takes a while for all your vaginas bacteria to return to normal.
Instead of trying to resolve your symptoms, look at the cause- that is why your doctor will take a swob of inside your vagina to see under a microscope what will be grown-
For those that dont know what the doctor will do, they will put a smooth speculum into your vagina to open up the passage way to say, your cervix, it doesnt hurt, especially if you had sex already
There is no point being embarrassed about seeing a doctor. It is tottally confidential, they have seen too many vagina to even remember- they should be non-judgement (there still human) but if you find a doctor you can talk to on your level (i.e same sex doctors) then stick too them
Hope this helps
But I am here to help if anyone needs to talk! as I go to college for psychology.
However, it's normal to have bad odour coming from the vagina right after intercourse. Remember, when we do the deed. It's like the fluids are mixed, and this results to that smell. Also when the vagina is recovering from a cut right after sex, you'd also notice the smell there. It doesn't have a very strong smell...just light fishy-like smell. If it becomes really bad after a week or so, SEE A DOCTOR. It is not enough to tell people about it and listen to advice.
It feels so good that I wasn't the only one suffering from it. I also got depressed and frustrated when i was going thru that. It was terrible.
It was such a traumtizing experience that i had a mental breakdown a few days ago. I have been pulled out of school on mental leave by my parents until i see a doctor in a few days. They dont know the real reason behind it but i plan on telling my doctor. Its a horrible feeling thinking that there is something wrong with you and your totally alone in it but i geuss Im not huh?
I would have gone to the doctor about the smell earlier but i have never been looked at and im VERY inecure about how i look down there.
I also used to have a lot of yeast infections. Because I washed every day, it was not an offensive odor; but, it could have been. Wearing pantyhose and somehow throwing off the natural balance of yeast can cause this......Illness, douches, antibiotics, etc.
If you have a fishy odor, be conscious of whether you have had sex with a man the day, night, or morning before. Semen left in the vagina will cause a fishy odor after awhile. I once used the sponge for birth control and found that it made it even worse..
I also know that men who have not been circumcised can have about the same kind of odor that women have. Women only have "offensive" odors if they have an infection, disease, or, just does not stay clean. Other than that, we have a natural odor just as men have on their testicles. Many men like this natural clean smell.
THINGS TO DO:
Wash with a mild soap every day and dry off well....A hair dryer helps.
Wear clean underwear every day and do not wipe from back to front.
If you are not trying to get pregnant, get up after sex and sit on the commode to get the semen out.
Try to stay healthy and conscious of your cleanliness and you should not have an offensive odor.
i'm still a virgin that's why i know it's not std.
please help me.. i'm so conscious once i'm walking on a crowded area and people and are sitting and they are close to my..u know.. can they smell it???:((
I have had 3 girlfriends with smelly *****. And all 3 I cured with baking soda..
Simple. Your ph is off so get you ph right.. About 7.5 to 7.8
Eat baking soda until your ph goes up to 7.5 and keep it there. Thank you thank you thank you.. Donations at ***@****
More? ok take two teaspoons of baking soda a day with 8 glasses of water,, not 5 or 6.. 8.. yes you have to pee more .. Tough it out...
Yes the baking soda used to clean toilets. Eat it.. It will rise your ph..
More? So how to test your ph.. Buy a ph tester from an enzyme company.
O by the way.. Baking soda also cures Gout, acid reflux, stomach ulcers, bladder infections etc etc etc..
So just do it.
And to all you legal drug dealers (doctors) selling drugs to people for profit, knowing that the real solution is a cook book away,, **** you!!!
Oh and get this last one.. Cancer cells die in a body with a ph of 7.6 or higher.
So eat your baking soda and lets bankrupt the cancer therapy clinics.
And yes do all the other stuff of eating right and taking good bacteria (primadophilus reuteri) and I would even suggest a holistic doctor.. but please stay away from main stream doctors and drugs.
Ok lets see how long this post stays up.. Since the Pharmaceutical companies own everything I will probably be getting a visit from a hit man for posting this. So bring it on Pfizer I am not afraid of you..!!!!!
ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda™ not Animal, not Vegetable, but Mineral!
Baking Soda, alias sodium bicarbonate, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate. To make ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda, the soda ash is mined in the form of an ore called trona. The soda ash is then dissolved into a solution through which carbon dioxide is bubbled and sodium bicarbonate precipitates out, forming "Pure, Safe and Natural"
ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda. You remember that from chemistry class, don't you?
