Vagina Odor.. What's normal?

Question

I've been recently wondering if what I've been experiencing is normal. I seem to always have an odor down there.. With or without discharge. I know some may be sweat, but it's not BO type of smell. I'm not on birth control. Im 18, sexually active (one partner, always use condoms). He's even mentioned the smell before. I shower on a daily basis, use a feminine wash.. And I just can't seem to get rid of the odor. I read stuff about yeast infections, and it scares me when I read that there should be no odor when normal (no infection). How would I know? I mean this isn't something that's been going on for a day, it's been weeks.. Months..

Answer

You really should avoid using any soap on your vagina because it throws off your PH balance. Your vagina is a self cleaning machine. Just use water and your hand or a loofa.

Answer

It's normal for your vagina to have a slight odor. But, a strong vaginal odor — for instance, a "fishy" smell — might be abnormal and could indicate a problem.
An abnormal vaginal odor is usually associated with other vaginal signs and symptoms such as itching, burning, irritation or discharge.

Answer

I used to insert a lite tampon soaked in peroxide and tea tree oil diluted with water. I also stopped using soap down there. Just wash with a baby wash cloth and warm water.  But I now take ultimate flora probiotics and that helped a lot like I have no more odor . Some times your ph balance gets out of wack. Not always an infection. My odor wasn't fishy but it was "different " than usual. I had NO itchy, burning, excess discharge or green or yellow discharge, just had a different scent

Answer

You are what you eat.
To simply put it:
"You eat like crap, you're going to smell like crap."
Try cutting out fattening, salty or sugary things from your diet. Eat lean means like grilled chicken, plenty of fruits and veggies and drink lots of water (no soda). That could easily be your problem.

Answer

If I were you, I would call my doctor's office. OBGYN's office and Planned parenthood are places you may feel comfortable asking those hard to ask/embarrassing questions to.  It's nothing they haven't discussed before.
