Something Is Terribly Wrong If Your V*gina Smells Like Any of These

A woman’s v**ina is meant to smell.The smell is good and acceptable but it should not be offensive. Doctors say that a woman’s v**ina is filled with different types of (good) bacteria and that each woman’s smell is completely different and unique to them and same applies to the vaginas themselves in terms of shapes and sizes.

“Some women’s vaginas may naturally smell stronger than others – and all of this is completely normal,” experts say.

However, there are some smells that are off and throws concerns over health issues. 
The following are the five smells you need to look out for:

1. It smells like  yeast: 
Yeast infections don’t often smell, if you notice a thick, cottage cheese-like discharge, this could be a sign of infection. Your v**ina will also be itchy and could be red. So, it’s best to see a doctor.

2. It smells musky: 

Doing exercise and wearing non-breathable underwear can cause a musky scent from the trapped sweat. Taking a shower takes care of this but to minimize the scent, don’t sit around in sweaty clothes.

3. It smells like fish:
If it smells like fish, this is a clear sign of bacterial vaginosis. This is the most common vaginal infection in women between ages 15 and 44. It occurs when the v**ina’s pH levels are thrown off by an overgrowth of “bad” bacteria – but it’s not a sexually transmitted disease and is mostly harmless.

4. It smells metallic: 

This one is no cause for concern, as it will generally happen when a woman gets her period. Blood can change the pH levels of a v**ina and make it smell coppery. This odor passes once the period ends. Avoid scented soaps, as this will throw off your pH balance even more.

5. It smells rotten. This would normally happen if a tampon has accidentally been left in for a few days or more. If you can’t get the tampon out yourself, head to the doctor and they can get it out for you. However, something to be wary of is toxic shock syndrome which is a fatal condition linked to the tampon being left in for too long.
