FOR LADIES – 4 TOP CAUSES OF A SMELLY PRIVATE PART

Most women experience feminine issues from time to time. Feminine
odour is especially frustrating, because it can leave you feeling
unclean and gross, even if that's not the case.
There are lots of
causes for feminine odour, but here are the top four culprits.


BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS:
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal odour.
Every v**ina is filled with naturally occuring bacteria, and BV is
simply an overgrowth of those bacteria. Most women in their
reproductive years will experience at least one case of BV. The cause
is unknown, but unprotected s*x and frequent douching can put you at a
higher risk. Other symptoms include itching, soreness and discharge.
Some cases of BV will go away on their own, but Planned Parenthood
recommends that all women with BV symptoms visit their doctor for
treatment to prevent rare but serious complications. Treatment for BV
is usually as simple as a course of antibiotics.

YEAST INFECTION:
A yeast infection is also very common (and very uncomfortable!). They
present signs much like BV, with the addition of a thick, white
discharge. Yeast infections do not require antibiotics and instead can
be treated with one- or three-course vaginal anti-fungal treatments.
Treatment for yeast infections has become very simple and can even be
purchased over-the-counter. Most of these treatments tend to get
messy, so it's better to use them overnight.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES:
Some STD's can cause feminine odour, the most common are chlamydia and
gonorrhea. Both diseases are common and easy to treat, but can cause
serious complications if they go untreated. Unfortunately, both are
also often not quickly diagnosed because they may or may not produce
symptoms. The most common symptoms of chlamydia and gonorrhea include
painful urination and pus-like discharge, although an unpleasant odour
is often present as well. See your doctor immediately if you are
experiencing any of these symptoms and avoid risk by abstaining or
using protection during s*x.

PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE:
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) occurs when bacteria travel through
the v**ina into the uterus. It is often a late-stage result of an STD
not diagnosed, such as chlamydia. PID usually is not diagnosed until
you experience chronic pain or have trouble getting pregnant because
often,it does not present symptoms. If symptoms of PID are present,
they may include pelvic pains, odour, heavy discharge, fever, fatigue,
painful intercourse or painful urination. PID can be treated with
antibiotics, though it may leave behind scar tissue that has lasting
effects..
If you are experiencing any of these, the best bet is to see a medical
doctor for proper treatment.
