1. What Causes Vaginal Odor- Is it Possible to
Get Rid of It for Good?
I used to suffer from bad vaginal odor for over a year. I was
absolutely clueless as to what caused my vagina smell. I
did alsmot everything possible to get rid of the smell-
bathed twice a day, washed the vagina frequently though
out the day and made use of antibiotics prescribed by my
doctor. Despite making use of medicines my vagina smell
persisted. The worst part of the whole thing was that there
was no apparent reason for my smell.
What causes vaginal odor? I finally figured out an answer
to this question after doing research on my own on the
internet.
Look our vagina has a natural odor which is never
offensive or bad. This natural vaginal scent is something
peculiar to each one of us and one that we get used to over
a period of time. If this scent changes into something
unpleasant or if you notice bad vaginal odor it is a clear
sign of a vaginal infection.
What are some of the probable reasons for this change of
vagina smell?
Poor Hygiene - Not cleaning your vagina with plain water
twice a day and drying yourself completely.
Underwear - Not wearing underwear that allows your
vagina to breathe and absorb well can cause the vagina to

2. smell. Women who sweat excessively in the groin and
vaginal area are prone to odor. Such women must always
wear underwear made of cotton that absorbs well and
ensures air circulation in the area. Underwear made of
synthetic fabrics like silk and thongs must be worn once in
a while and not on a daily basis.
Things left inside the vagina- like tampons at the end of
your cycle, or unwashed soap often causes the smell.
What causes vaginal odor in most women- the single most
common reason which is the cause of odor in most women
is a bacterial infection, Vaginosis. Bacteria are already
present naturally in our body. However whenever the
vaginal flora is disturbed for any reason whatsoever there is
an imbalance in the bacteria naturally occurring in the
body. This causes an infection and the resulting smell.
An effective natural cure for vaginosis is garlic. It is a
natural antibiotic which has strong anti-bacterial properties
capable of fighting bacteria and fungus. It can be taken in
raw form provided you can bear its smell. Alternatively
peel a garlic clove and insert directly inside the vagina.
Normally bacterial infections set in whenever our natural
body immunity is low. To boost the immunity of your body
and equip it to fight infections on its own you must take
folic acid, zinc and vitamin supplements. The supplements
have anti-bacterial properties which will work to get rid of
the bad vaginal odor fast.
