Answer 1

Other than the life-threatening cervical cancer, there are other vaginal diseases that can endanger women’s sexual and reproductive health—candidiasis, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis.

Dr. Evelyn Palaypayon, current president of the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society in the various vaginal infections are commonly characterized by heavy, milky, discolored and foul-smelling discharges; itching in the vagina; and a burning pain when urinating.

Although these diseases are less risky, these may render women unable to conceive or give birth prematurely, or pass on the disease to their partners.

Proper hygiene

Palaypayon said to prevent such diseases women must practice proper personal hygiene. They must also make sure that the vulva is always dry as moisture encourages the growth of bacteria.

Below are more feminine hygiene guidelines from Dr. Palaypayon:

• When cleaning, gently wipe vagina from front to back. Don’t scrub.

• Keep clean, but don’t clean the inside of your vagina with a douche.

• Change panty liners frequently during the day.

• Use cotton underpants.

• If wearing thongs or t-back underwear, make sure that it is clean to avoid infection from the anal area.

• Avoid wearing tight jeans, because this encourages moisture to occur.

• Avoid shaving pubic hair. Hair keeps bacteria from coming into the hair follicles or into the vagina.

• Always use condoms and foam during sex.

• Wash using a feminine wash with natural ingredients.

Do not douch! Do not use sprays! If you douch while you have an infection you could make the infection go farther up inside and cause more damage, sprays may cause infections, only bathe once a month and swim very little and never with a tampon in! It has it's own way of cleansing itself that is why we have periods. Do nothing and let it all be natural you will have better results. Some foods we eat will cause us to have a fishy order if it doesn't go a way the next day or after a bowel movement get to a Dr. Don't let anyone put foods in there either sugars will cause yeast infection. Just be natural! Shower daily in the a.m.

Answer 3

Douching is actually bad for you. Your vagina naturally keeps a certain pH and douching can mess that up making you more prone to infection, it also kills good bacteria.
eat less meat, less fat,and more fruit, and take a bath sometimes instead of a shower. additionally shaving or waxing can help reduce the smell.
If it smells at all fishy you should go to an ob/gyn and get checked out to make sure you do not have a present infection

Answer 4

bathing is about all you can do. Most women are very sensitive down there and douching can cause an imbalance that can give you BV Bacteria Vaginosis. Shower or bath twice a day will keep you fresh and always were cotton undies...this helps air flow through there and keeps you dry.

Like you said, guys like the natural clean aroma.

Answer 5

just general cleaning is the best and do not go overboard with that. No one likes the taste of soap. Try to drink a fair amount of fruit juice or take more than 500 mg of vitamin C a day. That keeps the urine and the vaginal mucosa slightly acidic which will cut down on the chance of any yeast infections. Try to avoid thong panties they tend to move germs from the anus to the vagina. Do not wear tight underwear while you sleep best to let everything air out at night.

Answer 6

Is it that it's smells funny? Maybe you have an infection! If not there are many products like feminine cloths, sprays & washes that you can use during the day. Summers Eve has some good products, they come in regular and sensative skin.

Answer 7

Diet. Vegiterians have been known to have better smelling (and tasting) vagina's. However, it comes with the price of not getting enough iron or protien. Eating certain fruits can help as well, i think Its certain citrus fruits, like grapefruit or something.

Answer 8

I douche alot and I take a shwer sometime 3 times a daty. i work out alot to so I usually shower at the gym as well. I ahv used powder but the guys and girls always complain about the baby powder tatste when they are going down on me.

Just try to stay clean and shower often

Answer 9

I think you have deeper issues than you may be aware, or a medical condition that hasn't been diagnosed. If you have hygiene issues you may want to take a class on curing those "not so fresh" moments !

Answer 10

I think that you must be taking great personal care of yourself just by the way that you seem to be so self conscious about your elegant vagina,keep refreshing yourself the way that you are and you will be just fine.
