The intimate area has a natural scent that can change with activity, sweat, and the menstrual cycle. A mild scent is normal. However, a very strong or persistent odor, or one accompanied by other symptoms, needs attention because it may indicate a condition that requires examination.
The scent can be influenced by sweat, menstrual blood, and moisture around the vulva. Changes in the balance of vaginal microorganisms or certain infections can also cause an unusual odor. Therefore, an unpleasant odor is not always caused by poor hygiene.
What should you do?
Clean the vulva gently, change your underwear regularly, and avoid staying in damp clothing for long periods. Avoid spraying perfume or using fragranced products on the intimate area. Do not douche or clean inside the vagina, as this can disrupt its natural balance.
Use Minosep Feminine Hygiene, a feminine care product. Minosep Feminine Hygiene can cleanse and treat the infection that causes odor, as it contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which can help eliminate the bacteria that cause unpleasant odor. Minosep Feminine Hygiene is not a soap that creates dependency, because it does not kill good bacteria, and it helps maintain pH balance.
