If your vaginal odour seems off, here are five common home remedies to fix it.
Vaginal odours can sometimes indicate infections, like sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or some poor lifestyle choices.
While it is recommended to see a doctor or gynaecologist, these home remedies may fix it in the interim.
Why does your vagina smell bad?
The fishy smell is also often associated with bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis can cause a strong, fishy odour after sexual intercourse, possibly due to semen interacting with vaginal fluid.
Trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection, can cause the vagina to have a pungent fishy odour.
A forgotten tampon or other foreign object in the vagina can cause rotting smells.
Remove the object immediately to prevent toxic shock syndrome, a fatal condition caused by bacteria releasing toxins.
Urine spills, sweat and yeast infection can also give your vagina a chemical, musty or yeasty smell.

4. Baking Soda
Baking soda can be used to adjust your body’s pH level. Just soak for around 20 minutes after adding a half cup of baking soda to your bath water, or simply drink baking soda in a glass of warm water.

However, no scientific evidence exists. You can include raw pineapple and drink one or two glasses of juice daily.
Finally, don’t forget to also consult your doctor to get an appropriate diagnosis.
