Today, let’s discuss a question of shame:
Private parts, should they smell like what?
If you search the Internet, you may find all kinds of strange descriptions. Dr. Clove selects several here, such as:
- Light grass flavor, strawberry flavor, lemon flavor, milk flavor, chocolate flavor…
The food you like to eat is almost destroyed. In fact, under normal circumstances, the private parts do have a little less pleasant smell, but this smell will not overturn people, but it will definitely not be as refreshing as the fragrance of flowers.
Today, we must seriously discuss the smell of private parts.
Why does the private part smell?
Women often find traces of secretions on underpants, which contain a large number of exfoliated cells, some normal secretions and some resident bacteria of the vagina itself.
You also know who the vaginal neighbor is, so you also mix the smell of urine.
Vulvar skin also secretes sweat and sebaceous glands also secrete grease.
All these secretions, resident bacteria, etc. are mixed together to form the smell of private parts, which contains various chemicals that I don’t think you can even name.
In short, these secretions and resident bacteria are very clean in a healthy state. Although there will be some smell, they also play an important role in maintaining the cleanness and balance of the vagina.
Therefore, if the smell is not particularly unpleasant and cannot be smelled from a distance of 30 cm, it is normal.
The smell is very bad, what should I do?
Say the important thing three times: don’t use lotion indiscriminately! Don’t use lotion indiscriminately! Don’t use lotion indiscriminately!
If the smell becomes particularly obvious (such as fishy smell) and unpleasant and pungent, even accompanied by pain, burning sensation or itching sensation, there may be a problem and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Note that the emphasis here is to see a doctor as soon as possible, not because of face to buy what gynecologic lotion casually.
Most gynecological lotions not only have no therapeutic effect, but may destroy the balance of the vagina itself and achieve the miraculous effect of “washing out the disease without disease, and the disease is more serious”.
Do a good job in cleaning your private parts, as long as you clean your vulva with clear water when taking a bath at ordinary times, and do not rush water into your vagina.
All these reasons may lead to odor changes.
Step 1: Diet
Some foods with strong smell may affect the smell of private parts, such as garlic, onion, asparagus, curry, etc. These smells are not really [abnormal].
Step 2: Hot and sweaty
Private parts, like armpits, are hidden and humid places, which are easy to sweat. If the sweat in private parts increases obviously, the smell will become stronger.
This kind of situation is not [abnormal], as long as pay attention to hygiene. Change close-fitting clothes frequently, and try to choose fabrics with good air permeability without special occasions (yes, I am talking about pure cotton underwear that is not very good-looking). Don’t wear too tight trousers and cross your legs less.
3. Hormonal changes
Hormone levels in women of childbearing age will change periodically with menstruation every month, and the amount and smell of vaginal secretions will also change accordingly.
Many factors that affect hormone levels will also lead to changes in the smell of private parts, such as hormone replacement therapy, contraceptives, vaginal ointment, etc.
Will you accept the smell of your private parts?
Even a completely healthy woman has a smell in her private parts. This smell is part of your body, although I have to admit that it really doesn’t smell particularly good.
Perhaps, because of inferiority or misleading, you may have tried to cover up the smell, repeatedly cleaned it, or searched for all kinds of unreliable information on the Internet to frighten yourself.
After reading this article, will you begin to accept yourself?
Worry comes from the unknown. I hope every woman likes her body and believes that your body is worth being liked.
