My vagina has a foul odor...it has been this way for a few years now. I've been to the doctor, however, each time I go, I scrub and scrub before going so that I dont disturb the doctor, therefore, she says she does not detect a smell. The smell always comes back within a half an hour though no matter what I do. I do not have any infections and shower on a daily basis. The doctor said I may be cleaning too much and my PH balance may be off, however, I've tried everything she says to do and it does not work. I know every girl has her own scent but this is very disturbing and is truly a foul bad odor. Any suggestions? (link)

Everyone has a distinct smell down there but I can imagine that what you experience can be discomforting. I really would not use a douche or anything that could further disturb the pH balance down there. In fact, I wonder if because you are self conscious about this (again understandable), if you are washing too much. I would try to take a shower every other day for one week only washing with NON-antibacterial soap. That way your body has some time to build up good bacteria to combat the bad, smelly kind. Also, eating yogurt really helps to build up good bacteria which ends up helping the pH. Of course proper techniques such as wiping front to back and sleeping without underwear also helps your body. Hope this helps :)
