Change Your Lifestyle – Change Your Vaginal Odor
According to various health care websites and advice from experts, the concept of cleaning the vaginal areaCleaning
There are some people who think that the odor can be controlled by vaginal douching even if one does not take a bath regularly. Douching can cause more harm than help since the water tends to irritate the vaginal area, disturb the natural bacterial flora in the area and even create an environment suitable to the overgrowth of fungi. Vaginal douching can also lose the acidity of the vagina and upset the ability of the membrane to resist the growth of foreign and pathogenic organisms in the mentioned area.
The manner of washing the vaginal area can also contribute to vaginal odor since one may do the cleaning inappropriately such that fecal matter may be transmitted from the anal region to the vaginal area, which causes not only vaginal infection but possibly urinary tract infection as well.
Instead, taking a complete bath is advised since sweat can travel from the upper body down to the genital area thus by showering one can remove them, and at the same time control body odor, because there are times when an unpleasant vaginal odor is mistaken for an offensive body odor.
Additionally, controlling the problem by cleaning must not be taken overboard such as using vaginal sprays, feminine deodorants and scented washes. These things can indeed address the vaginal odor but it may cause irritation in the skin around the genital area and the vaginal canal which necessitates not only addressing the problem by cleaning but other measures.
Clothing
A change in the manner of dressing and wearing clothes can prevent having a bad vaginal odor. It must be emphasized that wearing clothes that are loose-fitting, capable of absorbing moisture and does not limit ventilation must not only apply for undergarments but for the whole wardrobe as well. Smelly Vaginal is managed by wearing a comfortable set of underwear but if there is still sweating around the body; it may travel and become trapped in the skin folds around the perineum.Aside from that, these undergarments particularly very invasive ones such as thongs must be regularly washed and may only be worn for a day. Sometimes, the bad odor is only caused by the lingerie not being regularly cleaned.
Diet
A diet that can potentially influence the vaginal odor and make it more undesirable can be changed by following certain tips on dietary modification. Strong spices such as garlic, onion, paprika and chili causes an increased amount of sweating in the body and can also make the vaginal odor vary. Meat, milk products whether milk or cheese and alcohol upon metabolism in the body produces more nitrogenous substances that can potential the offending odor and make them more offensive. Foods that are high in sugar such as breads, pastries and cakes; and coffee must also be limited in amount since these tend to provide nourishment for both bacteria and fungi, thus creating conditions that foster an unpleasant smell.The foods that were mentioned above should not be completely avoided, but they must be taken in limited amounts only. A substitution of fruits and vegetables particularly citrus ones because they have a fresh and zesty scent, is advised to make the vaginal odor milder and control the pH level of the vagina.
