Vaginal Care 101
Vaginas do have a distinct, not necessarily pleasant scent but that’s normal. However, there are five types of Vaginal Odour that you must be aware of
1. Tangy Or Fermented This is a very common odour that dominate most healthy vaginas, which is Lactobacilli. This type of odour is normal.
2. Like A Penny (Coppery) Sometimes people also report vaginal odour smelling coppery or metallic. It’s usually normal and nothing to worry about.
3. Sweet Like Molasses It’s a different type of sweet; more like an earthy, pungent and robust scent. A bittersweet or sweetish scent isn’t a cause of concern.
4. Chemical Smell An odour similar to bleach or ammonia could be a reason to visit the doctor sometimes, although it could also be totally normal.
5. Like Body Odour Or Smoked Herbal Earthly Scent There are sweat glands present down there which often is the reason why the scent is so similar to body odour.
Basic hygiene and self-care are typically enough to keep your vagina healthy on a day-to-day basis.
