Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by cleaning. Do you mean vaginal douche? If so, STOP DOUCHING. It's not good for the vagina. It can aggravate infections and even lead to infertility.

A vagina is supposed to smell like a vagina. A healthy vagina smells a little bit like vinegar and musk.

If you smell really strong bready, beer-like odors, you may have a yeast infection. If you smell strong fishy odors, you may have bacterial vaginosis.

Basically, if your vagina smells really foul, you may have an infection. But if you don't know what a regular, healthy vagina should smell like, you might jump to the wrong conclusion.

If you have any doubts whatsoever, see a doctor. Get a pelvic examination to make sure everything is working okay. Even if you are not sexually active, it's good to see a doctor regularly to make sure your reproductive bits are functioning correctly.
