so i am a 16 year old girl and i have a strong scent to my vagina and i do not understand why. i shower every day at least once and keep myself clean only washing with unscented dove soap.i have gone to my gyno about it 3 times and she did all the tests and nothing was wrong. i’ve also tried her recommended probiotics but they didn’t work and vaginal suppository’s but they only work for a day then it comes right back. i am not sure what to do because she keeps saying im all good but it makes me very insecure. obviously im getting older and i dont want somebody to smell that. if anyone knows what can be causing it please help me!!

no idea if these can do it but i am also on these medications:

famotidine 40mg

bupropion hcl xl 450mg

loloestrin fe

and levothoroxine 25mcg

please anyone send any help

I would say try to lay off of the soap and rinse with only water thoroughly. The soap could throw off your ph.

Dove soap has moisturizers in it that don’t agree with the vaginas micro biome, maybe try using unscented Ivory, the bar soap not the liquid, and no soap inside the vagina or inner labia, cotton underwear and no scented body washes (even for the rest of your body) because even though you may not be washing your vagina with the scented soaps, some of the soap is going to travel down there regardless while in the shower, hope you can find some answers !

sometimes your diet can change your smell. things like garlic vinegar onions spicy foods.
