Answer
Vaginal odor is caused by a combination of vaginal secretions, sweat, hormones,... When one of the above factors is abnormal, the private area will have an unpleasant odor. . There are many reasons why your private area has a bad odor such as: bacterial vaginosis, fungus, pelvic inflammatory disease,...
Do not douche by yourself. This makes it easy for bacteria to enter the vagina and cause disease. Choose suitable cleaning solutions, do not use chemical products such as soap, shampoo, shower gel to avoid imbalance of vaginal pH. It should be noted that women should not arbitrarily buy and use drugs, instead need to go to a doctor to find out the exact cause of the disease. Besides, it is necessary to use the drug according to the doctor's prescription, not to stop halfway, not to increase or decrease the dose arbitrarily, which will make the disease more likely to become chronic.
