BODY ODOUR

 

Vaginal Odour : Causes and Cures

 

A certain degree of distinctive odour is normal in the vaginal area. A traditional and effective method of combating odour here as elsewhere on the body, is cleanliness. Regular soap-and –water cleansing as a part of the normal shower or bath is all that most people require. Body odour is caused by bacteria acting on perspiration, mucus, and sebum ( oil) present on the skin, hair and sometimes even on clothes. This may be a special problem on body areas that are normally warm and moist. Feminine deodorant sprays can supplement but not replace cleanliness. If a significant amount of vaginal discharge and / or odour are present, consult a doctor to find the causes.
