&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smelly Vagina (aka Vaginal Odor)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It is normal for vaginas to have some sort of mild smell, even for healthy vaginas. Changes in your vaginal smell can happen due to reasons like sexual activity, menstruation, pregnancy, etc. All vaginas naturally produce smells, and those smells do tell you about your lifestyle, activities, and overall health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;For example, during your period, vaginal odor frequently fluctuates.

It can also smell stronger after intercourse or a workout. However, a strongly unpleasant smell of your vagina, along with symptoms like greyish-white vaginal discharge, burning, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/vaginal-itch&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;itching&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;, may indicate a health problem such as infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Causes Vaginas to Smell?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Your vaginal scent typically depends on your pH level or how acidic your vagina is. Various types of bacteria live inside your vagina and form vaginal flora, which is crucial for maintaining the appropriate pH balance. A healthy pH level discourages infections causing a foul vaginal odor. Meaning an imbalance in your vaginal flora can lead to fishy, musty, or generally unpleasant odor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Normal Smells of Vagina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A lot of vaginal odors indicate short-term changes in your pH level and are not cause for concern. For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A slightly sour or tangy vaginal smell could indicate a higher acidity in your vaginal flora&amp;rsquo;s pH level, often linked with beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli. Some people describe the smell as yeasty, similar to sourdough bread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A faintly sweet or bittersweet smell, like molasses or gingerbread, may indicate a shift in your pH levels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;During your period, your vaginal discharge might emit a faint metallic scent, similar to copper pennies, due to the presence of iron in your menstrual blood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;An ammonia-like smell from the vagina may indicate either urine residue on the genitals (vulva) or dehydration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A skunk-like or body odor-like smell may indicate heightened stress levels, increasing your sweat glands&#39; activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Temporary vaginal smells are typical and frequently self-resolve. These smells may stem from hormonal changes or dietary factors. For example, pungent foods like garlic or fish can affect vaginal odor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However, a strong and unpleasant odor may indicate an underlying condition and may be necessary for you to seek medical attention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abnormal Smells of Vagina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;An imbalance in vaginal bacteria levels can result in infection and inflammation, which is a condition called vaginitis. The most prevalent types of vaginitis can trigger unpleasant vaginal smells and will manifest other symptoms, such as abnormal vaginal discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The most common causes of unpleasant vaginal smell are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It often results in the fishy smell commonly linked with unpleasant vaginal smells, particularly after sex. Another notable BV symptom is a grey or greyish-white discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/trichomoniasis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trichomoniasis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;: A sexually transmitted infection triggered by a parasite. It may not manifest symptoms, but when it does, it can lead to a smell resembling fishy odors, similar to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/bacterial-vaginosis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bacterial vaginosis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; or a musty smell. Another common indicator of Trichomoniasis includes greenish-yellow discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Rarely, a smelly vagina is a symptom of:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rectovaginal fistula:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; An uncommon condition occurs when the passage connecting the rectum and vagina permits fecal matter to seep into the vagina, resulting in a malodorous discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vaginal cancer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Heavy vaginal discharge with a strong smell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cervical cancer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; A strong, unpleasant-smelling discharge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you forget to remove your tampon, you might detect an odor similar to rotten meat. However, the scent disappears once you or a healthcare professional removes the tampon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
