is washing vinegar for vagina help to take away fishy odor?
NO! Vinegar, especially when undiluted, can be very irritating to senstive tissues. Women have a 'natural odor' that should not be offensive or overpowering. If you are experiencing otherwise, see your doctor, as you may have an infection. In the meantime, wash regulary with mild soap.
A fishy odor can be a sign of an infection. Before treating it at home you should see your health care provider to rule out an infection. Untreated, some infections can cause long term problems, including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
