Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many women may notice a \u201cfishy odor<\/strong>\u201d from the intimate area.<\/p>\n

It can appear without a clear cause and sometimes goes away<\/p>\n

with basic hygiene, such as changing into clean underwear after bathing.<\/p>\n

Medical Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the smell lasts or comes with itching, pain, or discharge,<\/p>\n

it may signal an infection. A common cause is \u201cbacterial vaginosis (BV)<\/strong>,\u201d<\/p>\n

which happens when the vagina\u2019s natural bacteria balance is disrupted.<\/p>\n

Symptoms include thin gray or white discharge and a strong odor,<\/p>\n

often after sex, and it \u201crequires antibiotics for proper treatment<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another cause is trichomoniasis, an STI that also needs prescribed medication.<\/p>\n

Non-Medical Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Odor can also result from poor hygiene, trapped sweat, tight clothing,<\/p>\n

or forgetting to remove a tampon, which can cause a very strong smell.<\/p>\n

Prevention & Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use gentle hygiene, avoid scented products and douching,<\/p>\n

wear cotton underwear, practice safe sex, and see a gynecologist if symptoms persist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
