How can i stop my vagina from smelling so bad?

im 15 years old and my vagina smells like fish and its really strong even when im on the bus I can smell it morning and afternoon. I wash take a shower everyday and sometimes a bath once in a while but it does not seem to help and when im in class I can...

hear people talkin about how much I smell and recently I heared a girl say she smells worst today and I started to cry cause I was embarssed

I cannot believe some of the WILD crap girls write on here. All you chicks need to do some serious research on your female parts. Most likely you have Vaginitis which can be brought on by,,stress,PH,not wiping properly ie..back to front. The only thing you should use to wash down there is pure water,,the vagina should never have a odor and does not need to be cleaned with soaps. A good thing to try is Acidophilus it regulates PH and really helps with odor and has helped me in the past get rid of yeast infections and vaginosis which is the same as vaginitis. As far as 3 holes you have the Urethra which is the hole above your vaginal hole that you urinate out of,,the second hole is your vagina and third your a** hole. I would suggest going to the doc,if you cant try the Acidophilus its cheap you can get it at any store for cheap. Hope this helps and good luck.

Your vagina isn't CLEAN... clean it USE soap ( not trying to be mean) Clean it underneath not just on the pubic hairs. and.. i've never had this problem because i hate germs and are always cleaning myself but if you need to cover up the smell put some perfume on your underwear.. not the vigina you could infect it if you did that. okay welll try using soap and see if it works...

Dear omni_mario1,
You need to see a doctor ASAP there should never be an odor this strong. It could be as simple as yeast infection or something more serious. But this isn't normal and you will be happy you've seen a doctor...and so will everyone around you.
Sue...good luck

Hey. You really do need to see a ob/gyn...but if you can't get to one, go to the drug store buy a douche...they even make things like norforms which are made to desolve inside your vagina and stop oders.

You can go to any drug store and get vagisal (sorry if the spelling is incorrect)
anyways, there is this stuff my sister bought, its vagisal odour control ( cuz she had the same issue)
and it works good, and its a fair price.

You can go buy summer eve's ordor spary its will help you...and stop the fishy ordor...!! But you must take your finger and wash inside your vagina hole it self make sure its clean inside and out...!! another thing is shower gels wash your skin with shower gels soap up your hand with bath and body shower gel etc...and start to clean inside of it I bet the odor will go away dont stress yourself okay!!

hello dear, I think you need to change your diet.
try going on a more healthy diet, it worked for a girl I knew for seven years, she had the same problem, and she flushed out her system and started on a more healthy diet. please try that friend cause I understand the constant humiliation you are undergoing. take care

I have the same problem ... did what people tell you work and if so what did you do to get it to work? please respond id like to know! thankss

um I sorta have the same problem, not as bad but I just wanted to nkow if what people told you worked, and if so what did you do to get ride of the smell and stuff... please reply id like to know...
thanks

If you have a discharge too, than you most likely have a yeast infection or bacterial infection. Tell your mother. I told my grandma and she said it is a yeast infection. It isn't your fault. Just tell your mom and get medicine for it. (I heard they sell them at drug stores) but you might want to tell your doctor first and let him check you first, you don't want to take drugs you don't need. Go to your doctor and tell him, also tell your mom, NOW. You don't want it to get worse. I know it is embarrassing. xxlovehurtsbabexx is WRONG. It isn't your fault. Your not dirty. Your body could also be unbalanced in PHT (I think thats what it is) I have/ had the same issue. take care of it.
Hope I helped xx

Oh my I have the exact same problem, and I know it isn't a yeast infection and I've tried everything that everyone said. I think some girls just stink more than others. You can also try to use a maxi pad, (the ones that smell nice) perfume isn't exactly the greatest, it starts to itch, and let me tell you,when your in school and you have an itch down there. Like I said, you can put a maxi pad in the morning, and you can take one with you for during recess, This trick also helps with discharge.

U can use maxi pads. One before you go to school and then put one on for recess. (the nice smelling ones) such as carefree, and they're also great for before and after you period for that little bit of discharge that you get.

most likely sweetheart you will have to maintain yourself a little better. body washes may be a little to soft for you. you can still use but after you use a harsher soap if you like the smell. you can also carry around wipes an a feminie spray threw out the day. you may need to go to a gyno if problem still arises. noroforms work really well also, dont use the scented douche they sell the old school one where you have to put ingredients in yourself warm water etc.. take a bath instead of a shower a just soak an sit for a while.
hair also attract odor may want to groom an trim wear cotton underwear let area breathe.

ok so check dis out mamita no worries I got the same problem my boyfriend is always complain about it but its nt that we dun wash down dere because I shower 3 times a day nothing works I tried vagisel that didnt word neither it really made it worst but rite now im gonna go 2 a doctor 2 check..in your case you shuld do da same because you never noe what it culd be... so check that kk rite bac...

you do not put soap in your vagina hole. You people are mean and nuts. That would burn like crazy. See a doc. Im sure it is something that could be fixed easy

I study anatomy for my beauty course and its sounds like you ahve some sort of infection, I've read somethings on here of girls dipping yogurt on a tampon up there thats not what you do, dont insert anything up there, just get some plain yogurt and spread it on your vagina at night and just put a pad on your undies and leave it there for the night. hope this helps PS dont use a bar of soap!!! or any purfumes! are you guys flipping crazy!

O.k. lots of BAD info on here. Dr.s do NOT reccomend douches or creams or sprays. Putting sprays to cover up the smell or putting soap into your vagina is not good for you it will only make it worse. It IS NOT your fault! It has nothing to do with not showering enough!!! A fishy smell is an infection that needs treatment!...Good luck!Get your self checked out

First of all it's sad females don't know their own bodies and they're giving advice. 9 times out of 10 the reason your vagina smells like fish is because you ate seafood. Secondly your chemistry may not mix well with the soap you use down there which causes the smell. Thirdly you may not be washing it correctly. Try using Summer's Eve.(it's not a soap but foams like one and is specifically made for a woman's vagina. And it gets rid of all the vaginal bacteria and odor. It never burns like soap after using it more than a few times. Thirdly, you may have an infection. And if all I mentioned above fails, see your doctor. Your vagina should never smell after cleaning it correctly. You don't just wash yourself once or twice when you're a female. You have to wash at least five times. I myself wash mine about seven times and I smell it after each wash and rinse to make certain its clean as a whistle. The hairs and all around the area, the skin surrounding the vagina and the clitoral area should be washed sufficiently.And drink lots of water. Eat lots of fruits. And when eating seafood do it on the days you won't have to go to work or school on the very next day.Because you will smell like fish. Some women, more than others. I hope this helps. And to all you women who think you know your vaginas. Explain why you have three holes with your urethra being one and the others are on each side of the urethra.

Eating seafood will NOT cause you to have a fishy vaginal odor. Chances are you have bacterial vaginosis and you need to see a doctor to treat it. Do not ever use a douche nor stick soap up into your vagina. That will only cause MORE problems for you by throwing off your natural pH and most likely give you a urinary tract infection. Your vagina is a natural self cleaner and the only thing you should be using on it is water with MILD unscented soap if needed. The best thing to do is go to your gyn and get professional advice. The advice you are getting on here is most likely with good intentions but incorrect. ~soon to be RN

umm someone said to wash with shower gels or soaps inside and out! DONOT stick your finger up there with soap that can cause an infection and push up bacteria, I use a douch once in a while but you need to see a doctor that is the only person who can help you with this goodluck

This may sound kinda weird, but, eat pineapple!!
