What causes bad vaginal odor besides an infection?

In: Women's Health, First Aid, Amoxicillin [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you have vaginal odor that is NOT caused by an ordinary infection, it could be something serious. Many STD's can cause odor, but not have any other physical symtoms. So if you have foul or abnormal vaginal odor it is best to get to the doctor immediately, or take a home detection test. Vaginal odor is most often caused by poor hygein. Though douching disrupts your Ph balance it is good to use one every so often to thouroughly clean yourself. Especially if you are sexually active. I would suggest using water, or a solution of water and vinegar as opposed to a store bought cleanser, as it is better for your system, and cleans JUST as well. Hope this helped. =]
