How to remove private odor?

If a woman's private parts have an odor, she will feel uncomfortable and embarrassed all day long. When this happens, women hope to find a way to get rid of the odor, but how can they effectively get rid of the odor? Are there any good methods? I believe this is a question that many female friends are concerned about. Regarding this issue, authoritative gynecological experts have given the following suggestions.

Clean and remove odor in time during menstruation:

During adolescence, female hormone secretion is stronger and the sebaceous glands secrete more vigorously. In addition to being more prone to acne, the lower body is also more likely to secrete oil, resulting in a slippery feeling. At this time, local cleansing is necessary frequently. The situation will improve effectively if you wash your genitals with soap at least once a day and clean them with clean water or a wet towel twice a day.

Change sanitary napkins every two hours:

In fact, menstrual blood does not have any odor when it first flows out, but when it comes into contact with the air, an oxidation reaction occurs, and several chemical substances mix together, which produces the odor.

The way to overcome this problem is of course to choose products with good breathability and replace them frequently. Doctors also recommend that you should avoid eating high-fat, high-calorie foods during menstruation, and instead eat fruits, vegetables, and beans. A light diet will refresh your body.

Use special detergent to remove odor:

When the temperature is high, bacteria in the private parts are easy to multiply, so you can use special cleanser or wet wipes to gently wipe it. But it should not be used frequently, as the user's ability to clean the private parts will be weakened. It can only be used when the smell is strong and before the end of menstruation.

Take a bath frequently and keep dry:

More importantly, you must take a bath frequently during menstruation. If you don’t take a bath for more than two days, the “odor” is inevitable. Of course, it may not be the smell of menstrual blood, but may be your own body odor. You can use thin silk sanitary napkins with good breathability and strong absorbency to make you feel more relaxed during your menstrual period without being affected by the odor of menstrual blood.

Use olive oil to remove dirt and odor:

Use a cotton swab containing olive oil or baby oil to soak the dirt attached to the labia majora and minora twice a day. Never disinfect your private parts randomly. The private mucosa is very sensitive, and using highly irritating substances such as disinfectants will cause inflammation. Using running water in the shower is the cleanest and safest method. Pay attention to the direction of washing, from front to back.

Relax and mask the odor:

Menstrual blood is a mixture of endometrium, blood, and endometrial secretions, so it has a unique smell that is different from ordinary blood. None of these symptoms indicate a disease. This is a smell that every woman has, and it won't be noticed by people around you, so there is no need to feel unnecessary tension or worry.

It is normal to have an odor in the private parts during menstruation, which can be avoided as long as you keep yourself clean during menstruation. However, it is not normal if there is still an odor after menstruation. The odor after menstruation is mostly caused by abnormal leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea increases, turns yellow, and has an odor, it is mostly a clinical manifestation of vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Generally speaking, the odor after menstruation is caused by not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or even having sex during menstruation, which may lead to gynecological inflammation. Therefore, the vulva should be kept clean during menstruation, and the vulva should be wiped with warm water every night. It is not suitable to take a tub bath or a sitz bath, but a shower is better. Sanitary napkins and paper should be soft, clean and breathable, and underwear should be changed frequently to reduce the irritation of blood stains to the vulva and inner thighs. After defecation, wipe from front to back to avoid bringing dirt into the vagina and causing vaginitis or even pelvic inflammatory disease.

If you are also troubled by the odor in your private parts, you might as well follow the methods introduced above to deal with it, so as to reduce the embarrassment caused by the odor in your private parts. Experts remind that if the private parts odor is caused by some gynecological disease, it is best for the patient to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and carry out targeted treatment after understanding the condition, so as to alleviate the private parts odor as soon as possible.
