Could this be a sign of something more serious? I only have this smell when it is that time of month. I know this is gross but sometimes I can smell it through clothing. Please help!!!

mix of sweat and mentrual blood/odour.
you also have a higher sense of smell when your on your period so you may smell it worse that it is, or even imagining it.
also depends on the protection you use.
pads will cause you to sweat more than a tampon, and also a tampon is worn inside the body so the odour shouldnt come out.
the best thing to do is to wash there in the morning, use your preferred protection, and wear cotton underwear.
this allows air to circulate.
if you work, and sit alot, wither at work or in car etc, you may want to take a change of undies with you. there are feminine sprays you can buy from chemists and supermarkets designed for this problem. you simply spray to the problem area and it neutralises the odour. hope this helps

All women have good and bad bacterias in their vaginas. It is normal for the PH to change and things get thrown off course during that time of the month or at anytime really. It may also smell worse when you use soap in that area. You could have a slight case of BV (bacterial vaginosis)... Its nothing major, and an easy prescription from your gyno could clear it right up. Don't be too worried alot more women than you think have this problem.

the worry is that the information 'classic' is used somewhat vaguely, and that i've got no sparkling theory of what human beings advise while they say it. 2 somewhat some issues are implied. One is the 'custom' that the female stay at living house and seem after the babies and the living house jointly as the guy is going out to artwork(it is relatively in uncomplicated terms a fairy modern-day custom, up until approximately two hundred years in the past the worlds of living house and artwork overlapped so lots extra desirable than they do now). the different is that the guy is known as a results of fact the top of the relatives, his spouse obeys him etc. those 2 issues could flow jointly or they won't. i do no longer think of that's sexist to prefer one or the two or those issues, see you later as you will come across a female who's satisfied to fulfill those roles. What i'm individually unenthusiastic approximately is the guy who needs it the two techniques, i.e. he needs his spouse to flow out to artwork and make money, and additionally needs her to do all or a great variety of the 'classic' women human beings's artwork of cooking, cleansing etc. those adult men are those I regard as somewhat sexist.

there are three possible reasons for that smell, the first is caused by cyanflexicloron fischerlla, which is a small gram negative bacteria than normally inhabits the anus and could have migrated to your vagina due your inaccurate wiping. You could try wiping in the other direction. The second reason could be due to the decompisition of dead sperm that are released form above your cervix when you are on your period. The final reason could be that a tape worm has exited your partner or your self in you sleep (its how they spread) and entered your vagina and is now laying eggs.

Well since you are bleeding from that area that would be the smell. Make sure you are cleaning up your area and changing your tampon often. Other than that I don't think you have a serious problem.

During your period and after sex, your ph level is higher. There is a great product to use right after your period called RePHresh. It reduces the ph level. Also, a high ph level can cause a yeast infection.

It's the blood and the hormones and pheromones. Totally normal. Some people are just more sensitive to the odor.

You might need to cleanse yourself after your period because it could be blood that is coming out. It could also be that you might have an infection or you just might need to see a doctor.

You need to change your pad or tampon more often. The smell you are getting is blood rotting. Sorry, didn't mean to gross you out, but that is what it is.
Have a pleasant day.
