Girls only PLEASE?

Question

Hay I have a problem....Um....I well... I kinda smell down there..(If you know what I mean)What can I do to help take the smell away....If you dont know what I'm talking about my little(area)...

Help!!!

Answer 1

For starters, a bad odor could mean a couple of things... if you are sexually active and have engaged in unprotected sex, I would check with a doctor to make sure you are STD free... also, it could be a yeast infection. If neither of these things seem logical, you might be irritated by the soap you normally use to wash yourself, so try another brand... If things don't get better, check with a doctor, and maybe he/she can prescribe something to help you out. Good luck.

Answer 2

Its ok.
Use a mild, not scented soap that won't irritate, or look for a feminine wash like Summers Eve.
Don't use perfumed washes.

Wear cotton underwear.

If the problem persists and you are having other problems like painful urination then you should see a doctor as you may have a little infection.

Drink lots of water, cranberry juice and eat yogurts.

Answer 3

Depends on what kind of smell you have- every woman has some sort of odor from her vagina.
(NEVER EVVVVEEEEER DOUCHE)

What is not normal?
If you find the odor is really offensive and is accompanied by abnormal discharge you may have an infection and should see your doctor.

This chart can help you identify what's going on. Use the chart for information. Only your doctor can properly diagnose and treat any of these infections:





Yeast Infection Thick, white curd-like discharge
(similar to cottage cheese). Mild
to severe itching, redness &
irritation.
Odorless.


Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Excessive white-grayish discharge with milk-like consistency. May have itching.
Fish-like odor. May be
stronger during menstruation
or after sexual relations.

Trichomoniasis (Trich) Profuse discharge, gray or
green-yellow. Itching & inflammation of vulva and vagina. May have foul or fish-like
odor.

Answer 4

This could be a vaginal candidiasis.
"Vaginal candidiasis
Over one million women in the United States develop vaginal yeast infections each year. It is not life-threatening, but it can be uncomfortable and frustrating."

and

"Treatment

Vaginal candidiasis
In most cases, vaginal candidiasis can be treated successfully with a variety of over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories. These include Monistat, Gyne-Lotrimin, and Mycelex. However, infections often recur. If a women has frequent recurrences, she should consult her doctor about prescription drugs such as Vagistat-1, Diflucan, and others."


Good luck !

Answer 5

Just use soup and water like you would with any other body part. You might also have an infection, so it would be a good idea to talk to your mom or go to the doctors.

Answer 6

wash more. do not douche they are not safe or healthy and what women naturally smells like strawberries down there? not anyone. make sure to wear clean underwear and dry yourself proporly when you get out the shower because unproper drying caused sweating which makes you smell. hope it helps

Answer 7

You may have a yeast infection and that can really only effectivly be treated by your doctor..

Wash gently, you can use a light dusting of baby powder but i beg you DO NOT spray any perfume or deodorants there.. it will be EXTREMLY painful and can cause injury.

Answer 8

bathe daily
wash yourself reall good with soap and water
there are feminine hygiene products you can buy for that at your local drugstore
douche occasionally but not with the perfume kind
if that does not work
see your dr
you may have an infection and need meds to help

Answer 9

It will always have a scent, it's not like it's supposed to be minty fresh or something...But you could try taking baths more so it gets really clean.

Answer 10

It's probably bacterial vaginosis. You do have to go to the doctor, but they give you some medicine and it goes away. you should go to the doctor anyways, just in case it is something more serious.
