My Experience With Bad Vaginal Odor

My experience with unpleasant vaginal odor first began years ago when I was a teenager. It was well before I was intimate with a man and it was deeply troubling. I was certain that everyone around me could smell the odor and it actually was strong enough to warrant my staying home from parties and other activities with my friends. At the time I naturally turned to my mother for guidance and her words of wisdom were pretty simple. She said that every woman smells differently and that I'd just have to get used to it.



I did end up going to see a doctor who said I had Bacterial Vaginosis. She said that was what was causing the unpleasant odor and she gave me a prescription for some antibiotics. I took them and it did seem to help. That was the first of many episodes for me though and eventually it reached a point where the antibiotics just weren't making a difference.



I realized I needed to try something new when the problem began to interfere with my intimate time with my husband. I was so embarrassed by the smell and I just couldn't bring myself to make love with him. It was frustrating for us both.



I had tried almost everything and then found this. It worked for me and honestly it changed so much about my life. For a long time I felt so self conscious. I don't anymore.



Bad vaginal odor is a non-issue for me now. It can be for you too.

Common Causes of Vaginal Odor

As I was maturing from being a young woman into an adult I kept experiencing the recurring problem of bad vaginal odor. I visited more than one doctor and each had their own opinion about the different issues that can cause this uncomfortable condition.



Some of the reasons I've been given for my unpleasant odor and discharge were:



A forgotten tampon. I was surprised to learn that this happens quite often. Some women simply neglect to remove the final tampon they've used during their cycle. Over time the tampon will begin to emit an unpleasant smell. If it's migrated farther up the vagina, you'll need to see a doctor to have it removed.



Unsatisfactory hygiene. Most of us who suffer with vaginal odor are diligent about keeping ourselves clean. For me, when the problem was at its worse, I'd wash two or three times a day in an effort to cover the smell. Ensure that you use a non-perfumed gentle soap and clean thoroughly.



Improper bathroom habits. If you're anything like me, your mother made it perfectly clear that you needed to wipe from front to back. This is incredibly important. If you have a habit of wiping from back to front you could be depositing bacteria in your vaginal area. This can cause many problems including an unpleasant odor.



Bacterial Vaginosis. This is the most common cause of bad vaginal odor or a fishy smell that many women experience. You'll find the scent is even more pungent after intercourse. Even with standard antibiotic treatments, 50% of women will be struck with the problem again within a few short months. I was.



There is an easy and effective home remedy to banish unpleasant vaginal odor for good. Find out how now so you can feel fresh and clean again.

Things I Tried to Cure My Bad Vaginal Odor

Before I stumbled across the remedy that helped with my bad vaginal odor, I tried countless other remedies. The results were mixed.



Here's a list of things I thought might help along with the results I experienced:



Douching. This seemed like a great idea. It wasn't. The problem with trying to hide the smell by using a douche is that you simply irritate the bacteria making the smell even more potent. After douching I was suffering with strong odor again within hours. This isn't something I'd recommend.



Scented soaps. These provided some temporary relief but they also caused some irritation in the delicate tissues of the area. I also experienced some fairly persistent itching after using a strong perfumed soap. This may work for you if your body can handle the intensity of the chemicals in the soap.



Scented panty liners. These really helped hide the smell for me. The only problem that I had with them is that the scents they come in are a little over the top. I did end up having to change the liner several times throughout the day to help mask the odor. One drawback is that it didn't change the issue when it came to intimacy. I was still too self-conscious to be intimate with my husband.



Feminine deodorant. Unfortunately I didn't have good results with these products. I tried several but found that they only mingled with my vaginal odor and in some cases made it seem much stronger. They also caused me to sweat more in my feminine area which only intensified the problem.



I did find a cure for the vaginal odor that didn't involve simply masking the problem. This solved the problem for good.

My Review of 'Bacterial Vaginosis Gone Forever'

By the time I came across Bacterial Vaginosis Gone Forever I really felt as though nothing was going to help with my unpleasant odor and discharge problem. I had been to several doctors, had done rounds of antibiotics and had tried countless home remedies. Each time I thought the odor was gone, it would reappear again. I seriously thought it was going to be a problem that plagued me my entire life.


I found Bacterial Vaginosis Gone Forever one night when I was researching new treatment options for vaginal odor and discharge. I thought that I had nothing left to lose so I tried it. It changed everything for me.


After reading through it I suddenly realized that everything else I had tried was designed to mask the issue, not get to the root problem of it. Even the antibiotics I had taken were only treating the momentary problem, not addressing the fundamental issue that kept coming back up. Bacterial Vaginosis Gone Forever explained in detail what was happening inside my body and what I needed to do to fix it.


I learned what was causing the issue and what products I had been using that I thought were helping that were in fact only making matters worse. I also discovered how I could feel better almost immediately just by using something I already had in the house. I felt better right away. I felt cleaner and fresher. This book really made the difference for me when it came to vaginal odor. I highly recommend it.
