My Vaginal Smells Really Bad. How Do I Get Rid Of That Bad Odor?Every woman's worst nightmare is probably a bad or fishy smelling vagina. Most often no one can smell it, but we can and it makes us feel anything but clean and feminine. The problem is, the more we douche and use scented soaps, the worse it seems to get. There are a few natural solutions to a bad smelling vagina and you would be amazed at how quickly they work!
First of all, one of the most common reasons for a vagina that smells really bad is bacteria. Something, perhaps a course in antibiotics killed all the good stuff that keeps your ph balance in check. There are two easy remedies that work every time. The first is to increase your daily intake of yogurt. Yes, yogurt! It has live cultures in it that replace friendly flora in the digestive tract, eliminating the bad stuff in the process.
Another safe method is to take probiotic supplements. There are several types of them on the market including acidophilus, bifidobacterium and lactobacillus acidophilus to name a few. Probiotic supplements can be found in any health food store as well as online. Many women notice a yeast infection shortly after taking a course of antibiotics which is one of the main causes of a smelly vagina.
Daily supplementing with a good probiotic formulation will naturally treat the cause by replacing friendly bacteria and a noticeable change in smell should occur within days. Just one word of advice if you douche, plain vinegar and warm water are infinitely better than store bought solutions for restoring the vagina's natural ph balance.
