As the years pass my vaginal odor has become increasingly strong, causing embarrassment and trouble for my husband and myself. What is the most effective way to stop this problem?

Your Ph balance is out of whack. Eat yogurt
with live cultures and take Acidophiles pills. Your body needs healthy bacteria to keep your ph in check.
I keep Huggies wet wipes by the toilet in all of the bathrooms and this is helpful to use once or twice a day.
Avoid like the plague taking any anti-biotics. They cause yeast and odor problems since they kill the natural bacteria.
A mild vinegar douche would probably be good occasionally (as needed)
We must be near the same age. Good luck with your problem.

Extreme Vaginal Odor

When you take your daily shower or bath, use baking soda and water in a douche bottle and cleanse..the more regular you do this, the faster you'll see the odor go under control..unfortunately , the smell is caused by 'good' and 'bad' vaginal growth bacteria. Your gyno can also prescribe you some antibiotics to get rid of the smell, but it will come back so you will have to take treatments.Good luck hun, you're not the only woman going through this. =]

If you haven't seen a doctor about it you should very soon. There are many medical reasons for odor and if your doctor isn't coming up with an answer after doing a physical exam then go see another doctor. My ex sister in law had an extreme problem with odor that almost made you want to gag when entering their house. She had an undiagnosed medical problem and the odor went away with the proper treatment.

Have you seen a doctor? Usually an odor comes from some kind of infection. It could be as simple as taking antibiotics to get rid of it. Go to the doctor and get checked out. If its affecting your lifestyle, then its bad enough to get it checked out. Most women shouldn't have a bad odor.

That's sign of an infection. (probably bacterial vaginosis) Go to the doc. Dont douche, because that wont help an infection, it will make it worse. Good luck :)

You need to go to the doctor that is a sign of infection and isn't normal. If you wash and the smell comes back go to the doctor.

People will tell you to douche...don't do it...douching makes the smell worse....you are cleaning out the good germs that kill the smell, I find using the summer eves cleaning wash and spray work fine,,,,also if you are taking any meds that can cause and odor...That what happened to me...But the douching thing I went to a doctor and she told me that...so I believe it and its true...I used to douche like twice a week and it would just get worse...Good luck...also try and talk to a doctor about it..
