Have you ever been concerned about the way you smell... down there? There are few things more stressful than running to the bathroom thinking, "I can smell my discharge through my pants — can everyone else?!" If you think you caught a whiff of something funky down there, you might not be imagining it. Odor tends to come from sweat - the vulva and vagina have sweat glands, like elsewhere on your body. And the scent may change as our menstrual cycle progresses, in response to hormones, or at the end of the day. Noticing vaginal odor, if it's your normal one, does not mean you don't have good hygiene or (god forbid) should start douching. No need to buy those scented sprays, either - the chemicals may give you a bad reaction, or lead to copious amounts of discharge. Your vagina should smell like...a vagina. So how do you know if your smell is normal or not? Dr. Oakley & Holly will go over some of the reasons why your vagina could be smelling, and when you should check in with your doctor about it.
