V*ginal odor is any odor that originates from the v**ina. It’s normal for your v**ina to have a slight odor. But, a strong v*ginal odor. For instance, a fishy smell, might be abnormal and could indicate a problem.

Here are 8 reasons a woman’s v*gina could smell and how to remedy it.

Even if you’re just washing your v**ina with warm water, excessive washing can still mess with the v**ina’s flora, causing an odor.

Some women are allergic to certain materials in condoms, which can throw off v*ginal bacteria and cause odor.

This can mess with the pH levels of the v**ina and even cause a large amount of bacteria to grow. There is good and bad bacteria that can be down there, but the bad bacteria can cause a strong smell.

Wearing very tight pants or underwear can cause your v**ina to sweat, which can cause v*ginal odor.

Spicy food can cause a sudden increase in your v*ginal discharge, which can cause v*ginal odor.

6. Sleeping with underwear at night

During pregnancy, many of vitamins and minerals are passed along to your baby, and this can throw off the pH levels in your v**ina.

What to do when you have v*ginal odor?

Many women believe that v*ginal odor are the result of a lack of personal hygiene and  excessively wash their v**ina unaware that they worsen the problem. While poor private part hygiene can be the cause, excessive washing is not the solution. Very often, women hampered by a strong v*ginal odor should not begin to wash themselves intensively. That does not help at all. The first thing to do should be restoring the acidity and the balance of the v*ginal flora naturally. That restoration cannot be done by excessive antibiotic intake; it decreases your immune system.

How to restore the balance of the v*ginal flora?

The v*ginal flora consists of a large number of microaerophilic bacteria. Among them, lactobacilli are considered the principal ones for their role in protecting the v**ina. These micro-organisms are primarily responsible for protective acidity of the v**ina. Wash the v**ina too often increases its pH, which disrupts the v*ginal flora and can cause v*ginal infections and particularly unpleasant odors. That is, do not rush to wash your v*ginal excessively when you suffer from v*ginal health issues.

If the v*ginal flora is disrupted, pathogenic bacteria proliferate, resulting in bacterial vaginosis. This type of proliferation tends to increase the number of bacteria normally present in the v**ina causing unpleasant fishy v*ginal odor.
