As much as period-care commercials want us to believe that our vaginas smell like fresh raindrops or vibrant florals, that simply isn\u2019t the case. Well, at least not naturally. While many of these products are infused with scents to help even things out, that still doesn\u2019t get to the bottom of the real questions at hand: What\u2019s that smell? And what actually causes vaginal odor?<\/em>\r\n\r\nCome on, we\u2019ve all been there. Whether it\u2019s the day after you finished your period<\/a> or seconds after crossing the virtual finish line in your spin class<\/a>, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve gotten a not-so-nice whiff from your nether regions at some point.\r\n\r\nSince vaginal odor is often tethered to concerns of something being off, we had to know if various vaginal scents are totally normal or warrant a doctor’s consult. Santa Monica-based ob\/gyn Sherry Ross, MD<\/a>, and NY-based gynecologist Alyssa Dweck, MS, MD, FACOG<\/a>, discuss the leading causes of strong vaginal odor.\r\n

6 Causes of Vaginal Odor, According to Gynecologists<\/h2>\r\n

1. Diet<\/h3>\r\nDr. Ross points out that you are what you eat\u2014and not just shape-wise. \u201cPungent foods and spices seem to take a fast lane in our bodies through the bloodstream, lungs, sweat, and vaginal secretions, creating especially intense smells under arms<\/a>, on the scalp, and in the genital area,\u201d she explains. Foods that can emit notably offensive odors include garlic, onions, mint (shocker, right?), turmeric, curry, greens, blue cheese, and other fermented foods.\r\n\r\nFortunately, there are plenty of foods (think: pineapple, fruit juices, whole grains, and Greek yogurt) that can help combat stinky wafts.\r\n\r\nBefore you add to cart, know that some of these foods can add a sweet smell or taste to the vagina. So Dr. Ross, who works with Summer\u2019s Eve, advises looking at your diet first if your partner notices a different taste in your vaginal fluids.\r\n\r\n\"Two\r\n

2. Tobacco, Alcohol, and Caffeine<\/h3>\r\nWe didn\u2019t want to believe it either (well, at least in terms of caffeine and alcohol<\/a>). Unfortunately, Dr. Ross says that nicotine, alcohol<\/a> and caffeine all affect vaginal scent. And interestingly enough, nicotine leads to a detectable flavor.\r\n

3. Non-Breathable Underwear<\/h3>\r\nIf you\u2019ve ever noticed your vaginal scent changing from day to day, there\u2019s a good chance your underwear could be to blame. According to Dr. Dweck, cotton panties are the way to go. \u201cThey allow the intimate area to aerate,\u201d she explains, noting that fabrics like nylon and polyester don\u2019t.\r\n\r\n\u201cKeep in mind that yeast and bacteria thrive in moist, dark environments. With exercise or just day-to-day activities, women perspire, even in the groin and intimate skin area. Breathable fabric helps prevent odor caused by trapped perspiration, vaginal secretions, and the yeast and bacteria that might inhabit.\u201d\r\n

4. Antibiotics<\/h3>\r\nJust as antibiotics can play into the texture and appearance of your skin, Dr. Ross says it can affect the scent of your vagina, too. As such, if you\u2019re concerned about your vaginal odor, wait until you\u2019re off the meds before making a determination.\r\n

5. Lost Tampons<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a scary thing, we know. And if you\u2019ve ever had a tampon string come unattached or simply found a full one wedged so high it was difficult to get out, you do too. Nevertheless, it happens, and it could very well be the reason why your vagina smells off.\r\n\r\n\u201cBelieve it or not, it\u2019s not uncommon,\u201d Dr. Dweck, who works with Monistat, says. \u201cOften, a tampon is forgotten and left in place for days, weeks, or even months. And with no surprise, a foul odor ensues. It’s typically so foul and significant that women state they can smell themselves despite bathing.\u201d\r\n\r\nIf this scary scenario takes place, it poses a risk for TSS (toxic shock syndrome). Even further, if it’s accompanied by a high fever and rash, aggressive treatment is often necessary.\r\n\r\n\"Gynecologist\r\n

6. Vaginal Infection<\/h3>\r\nIf your diet, tobacco, underwear, and lost tampons don\u2019t apply, then you might have an infection. Tell-tale signs include other uncomfortable vaginal symptoms, such as itching, redness, swelling, or yellow or gray discharge.\r\n\r\nThe most common infection that causes vaginal odor is BV (bacterial vaginosis). While it sounds serious, Dr. Dweck reassures that it’s not an infection you can catch from someone. Instead, it’s due to an imbalance of the typical bacteria in the vaginal environment. \u201cSymptoms include thin yellow-gray discharge, itching, irritation, and a \u2018foul fishy odor,\u2019\u201d she explains. \u201cCauses are disruptors to the vaginal pH<\/a> and ecosystem.\u201d These include douching (which she doesn’t recommend), heavily fragranced hygiene products, dirty sex toys<\/a>, and sleeping with multiple partners.\r\n\r\n\u201cIf you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to visit your healthcare\r\nprovider to take a series of vaginal cultures and find out what organism is involved,\u201d Dr. Ross says. That way, they can prescribe the best treatment.\r\n\r\nWant to take proactive measures to promote intimate wellness? Learn how Private Party\u2122 can help.<\/a><\/em>\n
