Hi all ... Im 6 months post op and am experiencing vaginal odour off and on , somedays are bad . I shower twice a day and have no discharge ( maybe a small amount, white ,not much) . What can cause it ,where can it come from,Is it normal for a woman to have a vaginal odour ??? HELP ,thankyou for any information!!!! debbiep

Have you been tested for a yeast infection? This might be a good place to start. Just because there is not a lot of discharge, or itching, does not rule out a yeast infection. Please call your doctor and let them know of your concerns.

Hi,
You really do need to get checked. Usually, an odor is present with bacterial vaginosis. It's a nasty, almost "fishy" odor for some ladies and the discharge is clear or greyish and watery. It is a common problem and treatable with antibiotics. It may also be yeast, but that usually has a thick discharge and not a nasty odor, more of a yeasty odor. I've dealt with both and because of bad reactions usually to prescription meds I use natural approaches first. The doc will be able to tell you what is going on. Good luck.

Dear Druid. Thankyou for your reply, you to Robinc, but Druid you mention you take the natural approach first ,I too like to use it also, could you tell me what you do/ or take... I went to the health food store and they advised me to take "acidophilus" which is found in yogurt but Im not a yogurt eater so I opted for acidophilus tablets. It is suppose to help the intestines with"good" bacteria to fight off the "bad " bacteria that can cause infection !!! Does this make sense to you?? Thanks debbiep

Hi debbie. acidophullus tablets are great You must remember to keep them in the fridge.
When I had a yeast infection my gyno.suggested to use a douche of 1 part white vinegar with 4 parts warm water. But you must check with your own Dr before doing this. Another good thing if it is a yeast infection is to soak a tampon in natural yoghurt and insert it into the vagina, this helps the natural balance of the vagina as well, but again check with your Dr. If you are only a new princess , then nothing in the vagina until Dr gives the go ahead. Best of luck with it all x x x
