Anyone having chronic vaginal odor comparable to BO or unwashed belly button

This is for everyone woman who continues to suffer from Chronic Foul Vaginal Odor that has never tested positive for BV, Yeast, STD's, or anything for that matter. It started 13 years ago. Doctors tried telling me its my imagination, until one day I made sure I did not shower prior to Dr visit. Then I asked her "Is it still my imagination or is it your imagination now?" while she was down there. She confirmed it. It was foul. No STD's, No infections. No solutions offered. I was told to just live with it. Its NOT your thighs. Its NOT Yeast or BV. Many women suffer this and we continue to go diagnosed. You have glands down there. Google vaginal glands "images". There are glands that secrete fluid, once any type of bacteria or other fluid touches it then it forms a foul BO odor, sometimes comparable to unwashed belly button, onions, or the foul armpit w/o deodorant. (that smell can be overpowering within 20 minutes) I tried everything you could buy online. I found one product that finally worked after all these years. Its called "Norforms" in the purple box. Use suppositories once daily. It has to be used everyday. After 24 hrs it wears off. This is the only solution I have ever found. My odor was horrid. I could clear a room. I finally got my life back after 13 years! I had to work grave shifts to avoid exposing my odor to co workers. My social life ended. I havent been able to have sex last 13 years. Now its all over with. I have my life back and wish the same for you. Yes, two week ago I tried Norforms and 13 years of hell is over. I will say I am angry that this female problem gets pushed aside, downplayed, ignored by many doctors. I don't know why this product works and not all of the other ones. I still don't know the medical term for my "vaginal odor condition" but this post it just to let these women know  that "You are not crazy, its not your imagination, and you do not have to just live with your problem."

Know someone it worked perfectly for actually!  Didn't cause any rawness or issues and got rid of the odor she was experiencing.  Rats it didn't work for you.  No suggestions then, good luck.  Hope you find an answer.  That is probably hard to deal with.

No, that never worked for me. It made me worse. Not only did the foul odor continue it made me painfully RAW down there. I would never recommend that for women who are more sensitive to those soaps. My doctor even got a giggle out of it when I came in to see her for my rawness. She said never to use that down there. But thank you for the advice.

Hi.  Well, you can still have bacteria within the region without having bacterial vaginosis.  Try washing with antibacterial hand soap in the shower.  This can work wonders.  Same with underarm odor that is persistent.  Try the antibacterial hand soap!  good luck
