Why does my vagina smell?

so I have been talking to my boyfriend and he says my vagina has a smell to it. He said its fishy. I dont know what to do. Like whats causing it? How do I get rid of it?

Answer #1

FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE TO YOUNG TO EVEN BE THINKING ABOUT BOYS RIGHT NOW AND HE SHOULDNT BE SNIFFING ANYWAY. LISTEN IF YOU FEEL UNCONFORABLE GO TO THE DOC CAUSE IT DONT SOUND RIGHT. THEY PERSON RIGHT AFTER YOUR PERIOD I AM SURE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS YEA BUT I WOULD BE GOING AND GETTING THAT CHECKED OUT AND KEEP THE BOY FOR SNIFFING YOUR WAY TO YOUNG HONEY YOU HAVE A WHOLE LIFE A HEAD OF YOU READ UP ON STD IT SCARY GIRL.

Answer #2

You’re 14. What the hell is your boyfriend doin’ near your vagina? Answer that.

Answer #3

OK I BELIEVE THAT LIKE SOME ONE SAID EARLIER THAT THE VAGINA DO HAVE IT OWN SMELL AND I BELIEVE THAT THE BACTERIA IN THE VAGINA IS INBALANCE. SHE SHOULD TRY TALKING TO THE DOCTOR AND DOUCHES REMOVE THAT PROTECTIVE LAYER OR SUBSTANCES THAT ARE IN THE VAGINA WHICH COULD RESULT IN A YEAST INFECTION.

SWEETIE YOU A INDEED TO YOUNG TO BEHAVING SEX, THERE A FURTHER COMPLICATION OF HAVING SEX AT YOUR AGE. YOU HAVE JUST STARTED YOU CYCLE SO TAKE IT EASY.

YOUR BODY COULD ALSO BE REACTING TO THE FOOD YOU EAT, TRY CHANGING YOUR FOOD YOU EAT AND SEE WHAT HAPEN OK. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

Answer #4

Take my advise im now 21 and now have 4 kids…

Answer #5

Listen girl, I’m 20 and I know for a fact that your vagina has a smell to it. It’s only natural and every woman or girl that answered knows it. Don’t listen to the ones that have all this extra crap to say, they dont have the god damn right to tell you what you should or should not do. Just be safe and careful. And like someone said up there half of these females are fools anyway because they cant even use proper grammar and writing. Instead of telling you you’re too young to do this and do that they need to go the hell back to school. But good luck and just know your stuff like I said be safe and don’t let anyone tell you what to do. You can listen but they cant force you everyone learns their lessons in their own way.

Answer #6

Please, learn how to speak English before you lecture someone. It’s very hard for anyone to take you seriously. Sorry, if that sounds rude, that’s not my intention. Purchase a pocket dictionary, so you don’t embarrass yourselves again. :)

Kayla; eat yogurt, don’t douche, wipe front to back, and wash with perfume-free soap on a soft warm wash-cloth.

BTW-If he was at all rude about it…dump him!

Answer #7

Well im going to tell you like this im not your “MOTHER”. So im not going to jump down your neck about having sexual relations with your boyfriend cause every teenaged female are male tries it. But let me get to the main part it might be because you have sex and you don’t go clean yourself after. Your suppose to do that right after he let’s his little guys in you. Are you can try douching,washing with soap and water,cleaning cloths(Eve’s ceaning cloths)… don’t put nothing with purfume on it because that won’t make it no better than wht it is but other than that you should be aye okay… “TAKE MY ADVICE”and please have SAFE SEX cause KIDS are a HASSEL.

Answer #8

okay it’s actually from your period think does it happen a couple days to a week your so from your period??? if so, which is the case for me, it’s because of some of your period blood is still in your uterus and bacteria is building up but the smell will usually go away in a few days try doucing if that doesn’t work and the smell is consistent wash yourself with soap and water everytime you take a shower if those don’t work go to the doctor

Answer #9

Maybe if you wash it with a little bodywash then if you keep on doing that everyday then it should start to wear off hope this helps xx

Answer #10

The vagina has its own natural smell so its probably normal..Once you dont notice it urself. you shuldnt be fuckn at that age thou.

Answer #11

WOW! ok, rosiehigggins… I think you are dumb to make such a statement, that is just rude. How would you feel if someone told YOU that. ok, anyhow, at age 14, which wasn’t that long ago for me, no one should be taking part in anything more than kissing, believe me, boys are and will always be stupid, and being sexually involved only makes things harder on you when they screw things up. & if you haven’t noticed the smell it is probably nothing to worry about.

Answer #12
  1. You aren’t supposed to douche, it’s bad for you. You should all talk to your docs. 2) Don’t jump down her throat like that, it’s only going to annoy her. Be considerate of whatever circumstances she might be under.
Answer #13

Please leave this girl alone. She has a serious question. Jeepers. Girl, if you are having sex and you have this problem, ignore these people.

Answer #14

Your vagina might have a musky smell to it, especially when you’re aroused, but that’s completely normal. The ‘fishy’ smell is not. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection. I would go see a doctor.

Before you run off thinking you’ve got something wrong with you, ask yourself: do you ever smell anything? If it’s THAT bad, you’d probably catch a whiff when you change your underwear or sit cross-legged.

Your boyfriend may just be buying into the popular myth that all vaginas smell fishy, which they don’t! He might be mistaking your natural smell for something worse.

If you’re concerned, go see a doctor. :)
