Vaginal odor, After hysterectomy

[resmore]

Hello everyone, I had a partial hysterectomy about 8 years ago. I noticed everytime I have sex with my boyfriend, my vagina smells different. I douche and I take warm baths. I douche maybe once or twice a month. I am wondering if I am having this odor because I don't have a menustration anymore. Before I had the partial hysterctomy I never had a problem with having a vaginal odor. I went to the doctor my pap test are fine. Do I need to douche more? Please Help! Thank You!

Hi everyone I'm 47yrs old I had to get a total hysterectomy when I was 20yrs old. I've noticed I have to drink a lot more water or green tea with lemon otherwise my smell is concentrated. Also between boyfriends sometimes are ph smell together didn't smell good and I didn't have an infection. I hope this helps. Drink more fluids and take a bath I use Dove soap. Also our bodies produce natural yeast I'll sometimes use lemon rub around the peri area to kill bacteria. Especially in summertime I hope this helps

Hi Stacey55
Thank you for your post. After your full hysterectomy,  did you experience vaginal dryness? Low libido? Vaginal pain during sex? If so, how did you overcome these issues? Please help

I had vaginal odor before my full abdominal hysterectomy. My doctor said my cervix was "weeping" from the stress of the fibroid. So after my hysterectomy...here I am with vaginal odor again!  It's a different kind...but still odor! It drives me nuts. I haven't had sex in 4 months. In my last relationship I wanted to stop having sex altogether because the smell bothered me and I was embarrassed.  That's not why we broke up, but I'm not interested in dating or getting close to anyone until I fix this odor problem.  It frustrates me. I change my panties twice a day and follow all the "healthy vagina" rules. Nothing has helped. ;(

You can go toWalgreens and purchase a product called Noraforms. It's a suppository you put inside and it blocks and kills any odor imaginable. I clean myself w/Summers Eve wash before I use the product. It's an amazing little ovule. You'll love it. You can find it by the douche in a little purple & white box.
You're welcome ❤️

Was u told by a doctor to use this or did u discover it on ur own? Did u have a hysterectomy? Do u every douche, or just use the Noraforms? Is this a suppository for the vagina? Thank u for answering my questions.

I am 65. My gyro used a procedure to fix my bladder prolapse up but mentioned beforehand that he might have to take my uterus out, which he did. I had this done three weeks ago, had to stay in hospital for five days, and since then am  recovering at home. No problems at all except for this awful smell and a bit of discharge.  I can smell it on me all the time, it drives me crazy. I change my pad four or five times a day, use baby wipes, I thought it is the discharge that smells but after reading all your comments it's apparently not that. I am going to try drinking baking soda and water and if that doesn't help I am going to get Monistat 7 as some of you have suggested. I will have my checkup in just over two weeks and will ask my doctor about it.  Will keep you all posted of the outcome.
