A Funky Smell

By Greg Pierce

"When the vagina in its healthy state, it exudes a hidden oder all the time. It was designed that way to cater to our baser instincts. This is quite natural under normal circumstances. However, with the advancement of our society, we are compelled to eliminate odors that we think shouldnt be there. This odor is not considered offensive especially for people who practice primitive methods. The bottom line is it is all a matter of judgment.



Each woman has a distinct smell, which is expected. One can even be aware of a recent variation in its odor but it does not necessarily mean it is infected. This can be caused by a precise instant in your menstruation cycle.



This natural smell can, at times, make women so paranoid that they become so conscious of it. But their partners won't notice this smell.



However, if the odor does change and become strongly offensive like a fishy scent, this would be a cause for alarm. This can be a sign of an extreme vaginal infection that, if not treated, may complicate into physiologic troubles that may lead to emotional stress or worse, social isolation.



Many women who are misinformed believe that vaginal odor is the consequence of a sloppy personal hygiene. They wash their vagina very often not aware that they are disrupting the natural flora of the area. Too much washing is not the answer. But take note that the vagina has a natural pH and the balance of the natural flora should be maintained.



Its flora is composed of microorganisms that produce the protective acidity of the vagina. When you are frequently washing the area, it increases the pH causing chaos among the microorganisms. This can lead to infections and ultimately offensive odors. This can result to the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms leading to bacterial vaginosis. This condition is the reason for that offensive fishy odor.



Tight pants and certain cosmetics like antibacterial soap & scented body washes also cause yeast infections. Some contraceptives can bring about vaginal odor. Vaginal intercourse alternated with anal intercourse all in a single session can also bring about infection. Diet can also have an effect on the smell of your vagina. Though this case is rare in this culture, what is being eaten can also come out not only in the vagina but also in the armpits. The remedy this condition is eating fresh fruits and vegetables free from spices.
