Answer

If your vagina has a fishy smell, that's an STD or some kind of infection. Please seek medical help.

Answer

I'd talk to a doctor it could be something they can fix

Answer

Wash it thoroughly, but maybe you have something going on and you should talk to a doctor about it.

Answer

Honestly, you may just be stressing over it and thinking that you smell it when you don’t. Try washing really well (no soap but make sure to get your labia) or taking a bath with about a cup of apple cider vinegar. Could also be diet. If nothing changes, go to the doctor

Answer

My gyno suggested using Castile soup, and that’s all I use. Never have any odor issues. But soap is NOT to touch the inside of your vag. Use the soap to clean the outterparts and your lips. And just use water to clean the inside. Also, no douching or anything of the nature. It takes out too much good bacteria, which could cause infection and odor issues.

Answer

Honestly, it might be a hormone issue. I had terrible discharge smell before I went on the pill to regulate my periods and hormones- but other than that- scented pads/tampons counteract the smell, put some baby powder in your underwear, wash it with water and only ever a small amount of soap (your vagina should be acidic, it’s a mucus membrane, and too much soap can damage it), and just don’t stress too much.

Answer

Sounds like your ph levels might be off. I don't recommend washing it with soap, just try washing daily with water, and if you wear cotton panties it will help keep everything balanced down there. Also you can buy feminine hygiene wipes at Wal-Mart or a pharmacy which can be helpful for cleaning up down there throughout the day. They make them in travel packets that you can just throw in your purse! Good luck!
