Vaginal odor is one of the most embarrassing health problems that a woman can have. You are ashamed of your body and the smell make you feel more self conscious and less confident about yourself.
If you suffer from this foul smelling vaginal odor, you definitely want a cure that can help eliminate and get rid of the smell permanently. For those of you who have a smelly genital odor that won’t go away, try the following preventive cures and remedies:
- Avoid wearing tight underwear and pants that may cause vaginal sweating. Constricting clothes block the flow of air to the vaginal region and can trap moisture that could cause or increase vagina odor. Replace those figure hugging clothes with cotton panties and loose fitting clothes to improve better air circulation.
- Maintain good personal hygiene by washing your vagina daily with warm water and unscented soap. Do not douche and also avoid using scented soaps or body wash since they can actually irritate your vagina and can worsen the existing smell.
- Adding a cup of plain yogurt to your daily diet can be an effective cure for vaginal odor. Yogurt contain healthy (lactobacilli) bacteria that helps prevent and treat existing bacterial infection in your vagina that may be causing for your vaginal to smell.
- Another proven cure for vaginal odor is garlic. With its strong anti-fungal properties, garlic can help eliminate the harmful bacteria in the vagina and minimize the strong scent of bad odor.
- Watch what you eat and drink. Cut down on sugary foods and alcohol that can increase the amount of yeast in your vagina. Drink more water and eat more fruits plus vegetables that contain natural antioxidants qualities (such as prunes, blueberries, oranges, banana, spinach and beets) can help keep the vagina flushed of “bad” bacteria and get rid of bad vaginal odor.
