Natural Vaginal Odor Treatments
If you suffer from the embarrassing problem of intimate odor
, there are various natural vaginal odor treatments you can implement to get you back on the road to freshness. Firstly, it is important to understand that this problem is rarely caused by poor hygiene and just a few slight adjustments to your daily routines can be enough to resolve it.First of all, start off by looking at your washing habits. Many women, when they have bad vaginal odor, begin to wash more regularly than before and mask the problem by using fragranced products designed for the intimate areas. In actual fact this is one of the worst things you can do as overwashing and the use of harsh perfumed products can strip the vagina of its natural protective lubricants, making the smell worse than before. The "ideal" is to wash no more than twice a day and use unperfumed soap. If, during the day, you find that you have excessive smelly discharge, a gentle wipe with an unperfumed baby wipe it the best course of action.
Next, think about your underwear. If you are wearing synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester, switch to cotton. This is one of the best natural vaginal odor treatments as man-made fibers can trap in warmth and moisture which can create the perfect conditions for bacteria to grow. Also, try to avoid wearing pantyhose and tight-fitting trousers for the same reason.
Your monthly period can sometimes be a source of vaginal odor. Always ensure that you change your protection regularly, even when flow is light and never forget to remove the last tampon of your period.
Other simple natural vaginal odor treatments include bathing the area with a weakened solution of cider vinegar or adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your bath.
By far the most common cause of bad vaginal odor is the condition known as bacterial vaginosis. This affects most women at one time or another during their adult lives. If your discharge is watery and gray or white in color, then this is the likely diagnosis.
If the discharge is white and clumpy, looking a little like cottage cheese, then it is likely that you have a yeast infection.
Fortunately, there are fast ways to treat the underlying cause of bacterial vagnosis and yeast infection which will give immediate relief and completely eradicate the problem in just 3 days. By using natural treatment, you can quickly restore balance in the vagina and get back to normal within no time, even if you are a long term sufferer.
