Embarrassing Question - Joliet,IL

You may have a slight infection that needs treatment. I would call the obgyn. Also the food you eat does affect the smell of your vagina. They suggest men eat pineapple for better "taste and smell". It also works for women. A daily smoothie with half a pineapple and Activia yogurt changed things for me, you might try it! I wasn't bothered by my natural smell before, but I did notice a difference and so did my boyfriend! If you want the recipe, let me know!

I have gotten a couple messages asking for this recipe so I will post it here!

Fill blender 1/4 or less with ice.
1 cup Orange Juice (can sub anything you like)
1 cup Activia fat free yogurt
1/2 of a fresh pineapple

From here you can add just about anything..
1 or 2 bananas
berries
Mango
Peach
Apple

I started doing this to lose wieght and get my fruits in. I used it as a meal replacement plan. I didnt realize it was affecting me 'down there' until my boyfriend pointed it out. It seems to have changed my PH. I am sure it has something to do with the Probiotic yogurt and the pineapple. Anyway it works for wieght loss and just good health in general!

Good Luck!

I think it would be best to go to the OB/GYN. BUT, I just saw a commercial (I'm watching Supernanny) for a product from Vagisil that will test you at home for an infection. Maybe you can check out their website and see exactly what it's about.

I would go to your ob and have a pap test because you may have an infection that needs to be treated. Usually it's a suppository that you insert for a few days and then your done. No big deal.

You may have a urinary tract infection or another kind of infection building in your body. If you look up urinary tract infection or kidney infection on of the symptoms can be on unpleasant odor. You may want to see you doctor and have a simple urine test done.

Sounds like your flora may be out of balance and may need some probiotics to put it all back in balance (pH levels, etc) Some good brands are FloraStor, Florajen 3, NuChapter, all can be found in the fridgerated section and must be stored in the fridge. Good luck with all of your training!

hey I have the same problem but I have done my research and it due to Ph levels being changed since being pregnant. I just had my 2nd....both came via c-section and I'm still waitinf for the way "it" use to be.

I don't think the episiotomy has anything to do with it. I would think you either have something going on as far as an infection or your body chemistry changed due to the hormonal changes from your son's birth. I would have your OB/GYN check it out. You don't have to go in there with your specific question, because I know what you mean, I'd probably be embarassed to talk about it too. But all you have to say "I have an itch" and they'll do a screen to see if it's bacterial or whatever else it may be. But taking probiotics would be helpful for you to keep your good flora in check and yeast at bay. Eating yougurt everyday can help with this too.
