This is embarrassing. I noticed today that I have stinky, you know where I am talking about. I am not sexually active and have not been in close to 10 years, so it is not VD, uless it is latent. I am not itching, I am clean, but it still stinks. I read not to use douche. I really do not want to go get pills or go to a doc. Anyone out here have some remodies that they have tried or know from friends that actully work that are safe and natural?
I have never had this before, although when young, I knew of women that smelled like this all the time. Is this normal for menopause?
I really think it does have to do with menopause or peri. When I turned 41 I'm 43 now I got BV. I've never had BV before. I'm married have been for 18 yrs and I'm clean have good hygiene. I believe it has to do with our raging hormones and our PH gets all out of whack down there. I sit in Epsom salt baths and put a little tea tree oil and sit for about 20 mins. I've heard that women put dissolvable Vit C up there at bedtime and the smell is gone. I haven't tried that but I don't have smell just the itchy and discharge. Hang in there. Hope other women have ideas. I would like to know also.
well i will certianly research the vit c at bed time, thankyou. sorry you have itchy, that is worse imo. hate that! and ai did have a eb salt bath yesterday and still ick today. kind of scary. i don't know why but it is. i guess getting older, the mind and body is changing so fast.
you know you are right, i should have known that. in my older age im forgetting things i know. thanks to you all I can pretend I know what I am dong in front of my friends for a little longer.
Sí, sí, ya lo he tenido. Ugh, lo odio y soy una persona muy, muy limpia. Para mí, noté unos cuantos períodos el año pasado que olían. Y esto nunca me había pasado antes. Y no, tendré una descarga apenas perceptible. Pero huele. Va y viene. Investigué en Google el olor de la sangre y muchas mujeres pasan por eso, pero pensé que iba a morir. Olía casi como carne cruda. De ninguna manera voy a tener este pequeño pedido ahí abajo una vez cada luna azul. Es abrumador. Me bañaré varias veces al día. Buena suerte
have you ever gone to the doctor to get a swab? im 57 and just startted menopause a year ago. i have never had this smell. i have smelled it on others and wondered why some have stronger sense. maybe it is primal. thanks teresa
I have noticed this in myself recently and was wondering what caused it. Does not matter how clean I am I feel I smell there. Aggh. I was trying to remember everything I have eaten thinking if they have caused it. But I don't think so. Sooo it must be the hormons!
No me han hecho la prueba con hisopo. He estado esperando casi un año para volver a la aseguradora de mi esposo. El 1 de noviembre comienza. La inscripción abierta comenzó a principios de octubre. Así que estaré haciendo muchas citas médicas. Fui el verano pasado y me revisaron los niveles. Muy bajos. Mi estrógeno estaba a dos puntos de la menopausia. Una locura. Solo tengo 46 años. Pero investigué un poco en línea y parecía que muchas mujeres experimentan esto durante la perimenopausia y la menopausia. Incluso una amiga mía dijo que a ella también le pasó. Creo que es parte de tus hormonas y posiblemente una forma en que tu cuerpo se está limpiando. Entiendo lo que quieres decir con oler a otras personas, siempre he podido notar un olor en algunas mujeres, especialmente cuando están en su período. Por supuesto, nunca dije nada. Tengo un gran sentido del olfato. (Pensé que tal vez tenía poderes olfativos extra o algo así. Jajaja). Te haré saber qué pasa.
i wish i could use a pad, but i break out when i wear them too long. i was wondering it if was an nfection, i have a few other health problems and didn't know it if was related. i know they say not to douch, but i might with some vinegar. just once to see if it helps.
I put coconut oil up there last night and it is better smelling today thanks you all for your supports and understanding. we don't like tinky! Ya cocnut oil!
I just read that poor digestion can cause stinky crotch monsters and probiotics can help. I certainly have that with celiacs.
Happy night! I am going to a pumpkin carving party tonight with my 5 yr old neighbor who says I am her best friend. Get my mind of of my me for a little while!
See you all later and thank you for all your good advice!
