How to get rid of a bad vaginal odor once you have it? Look, it’s perfectly normal for the vagina to have an odor. I’m sure most of you have grown accustomed to the smell of your vagina and will be in a position to notice every time your “smell” changes. Any vaginal problem is an embarrassing and sensitive subject. However, it’s foolish to leave vaginal odor untreated just because you’re not ready to discuss the problem openly with others.
Here in this short article, I am going to share some very basic tips on how to get rid of vaginal odor naturally.
a) Odor from the vagina is rarely due to poor hygiene. There is no point in washing and douching your vagina over and over again in the hope of getting rid of the smell. By over-washing, you are effectively stripping the vagina of the natural lubricants present in it and upsetting the vaginal ph balance. Just washing the vagina with running water twice a day is enough to keep it healthy.
b) Often, male semen that is alkaline in nature can alter the vaginal ph and cause odor. To avoid this, always have protected sex and use condoms. It might be worth your while to carry some condoms in your bag in case your partner isn’t ready.
c) Change your sanitary protection regularly even if your flow is light. Tampons should never be left in for more than a couple of hours. Always remember to remove the last tampon of your period.
d) Tea tree oil has strong antifungal properties. Place a few drops of tea tree essential oil in a cup of warm water. Stir to mix and then use this mixture to wash your vagina to remove the odor.
I sincerely hope the steps above help you plan how to get rid of vaginal odor on your own.
