Ever since I started getting the depo-injection for birth control about 8 months ago I've been having a gross odor "down there". It comes and goes. I've heard some things about women's PH levels and it might have something to do with the smell. Like the PH level is off now that I'm taking the shot for birth control or something. What can I do to stop this odor?

You need to see your doctor. Any unusual vaginal odor should be reported to your MD. This is important!

You should go to the doctor who gives out birth control and tell them what you just said about the odor problem. They would know what to do. I am on birth control but I don't have that problem. Maybe your PH is off, but you should really make time to get that checked out.

have you heard of that new vaginal product called rePHresh? try it. it works WAY better than vagisil. in my opinion. i'm really prone to things like UTI's and yeast infections, so i use that pretty much every other day. it works to balance the PH levels. also, dont use harsh soaps 'down there' to try to get rid of the smell...it will only irritate it more...

Go to your doctor, or get some Vagisil. Vagisil is used to stop itching and odor down there.

See you Doc. and stop taking Depo. I was on that and it really messed up my body for over a year. IT is not good for you.

I would have to say, get off the depo. It has been proven to reduce bone density, and decrease bone mass. I would talk to your doctor about that.

Try summer's eve freshening wipes until you can see your dr. also I would not recommend that shot, while I was on it I had my period for 4 months straight! It was awful!

Please discuss this with your physician. Something besides the birth control medication may be causing the problem .
