My Vagina Frequently Smells, Can I Do Something About It?

Sure, but you’re probably worrying needlessly. Most of the women who come in saying, ‘I smell really bad,’ smell fine.

If you’re concerned, see your gynecologist because strong odor (and discharge) is a sign of a bacterial infection. If there’s no infection and you’re still worried, avoiding spicy or pungent foods may help.

An over-the-counter product called Rephresh that rebalances the vagina’s pH and makes you more fragrant.

Don’t use douches or feminine sprays. They can irritate and can alter the vagina’s natural flora, which increases your risk of getting an infection and mask an existing one.
