Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
you may have a yeast infection nothing to worry about just go to your family doctor or health clinic and they will give you a medication to clear it up. don't use over the counter meds without consulting a doctor first!!!

Hi sweety,
As you grow older and puberty kicks in there is the common sign of 'smelly vaginas.' TRhis is absolutely normal. Yes i sgree you should not use soap, but what you need to do is whenever you have a bath or shower everyday, clean your vagina properly, and there are special soaps for genital use. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards as you don't want to infect yourself, and it's unhygienic.

First of all you shouldn't use soap on your vagina It kills all the good flora(organisms) and then bad ones take over which can cause many infections. You may have a urinary tract infection or something else.. but usually those come along with burning, itching, and discharge. So if you have anyother signs than you should go see a doctor or ask your mother.

The best thing 4 u 2 do is, make an appointment to see a doctor. If you're having sex, it may a STD. If you're a virgin, then u may an overgrowth of bacteria. Sometimes we wash away the "good" bacteria, and that will give an infection. It may be a bacteria infection.

They have products you can buy which help diminish odor. One of which is Vagisil.

Other than that, be sure to continue washing regularly and washing thoroughly. Some odor is to be expected, but a foul stench is nobody's friend. Also, excess amounts of hair helps trap odor, so shaving or trimming any hair does, to some degree, have a health benefit.

Sounds like an infection. Probably nothing major, but you do need to see a doctor about it.

Talk to your mom and ask her to take you to the doctors.
You didnt specify your name, bu certainly if you are over 18, just go to your doctor yourself.
