For many years now I have had vagina smell. Even before I lost my virginity 2years ago. I’m honestly not even sexually active now. But the smell isn’t fishy it’s just unpleasant sometimes musky I shower at night and when I wake up in the morning it’s musky.. I noticed it’s a little strong these days cause I ate this food with vinegar yesterday I ate a pickle. Also I’m not in a perfect weight stage as well I have had bad eating habits what is causing this ? Again it’s not itchy or it hurts just the smell SOMEtimes when I pee I feel amlittle irritated like a Very mild UTI it has been hot so please help
I doubt pickles or vinegar would cause this.... and reality is, if you douche with diluted apple cider vinegar, it is an odor neutralizer. Use a quart of water and 1/2-3/4 cup of vinegar. You can also use this mixture before you get out of the shower to cleanse. Don't rinse it off, just pat dry. The vinegar smell doesn't linger and you will notice a big difference.
It’s definitely diet and grooming; are you putting excessive amounts of water down/in there? If so, don’t. Your shower and vagina pH aren’t the exact same. Also, don’t use soap down there at all. I wouldn’t even recommend summers eve. I know people are going to try to tell you it’s gross, but as someone who is in their final year of nursing studies and who has taken a very special interest in women’s health, I’ve read enough things to know that a moderate amount of water on your vulva is all you need. Honestly, that’s all I do, and I have never had an odor problem. Even after my period, I just make sure I rub very well with water on the outside. The inside, aka the vagina, is self cleansing. It prefers its own abilities over some fancy feminine hygiene brand of cleanser.
Other that grooming, change your diet. Drink more water, eat more fruit. Stay away from pungent stuff like excessive vinegar and pickles. Maybe try cutting that stuff off all together for awhile to see it it helps.
