It doesn't itch but it has a sour smell.

For modern female friends, gynecological diseases are very important to pay attention to. Gynecological diseases are mainly closely related to the female vagina. If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, women's private parts will have various odors. Different odors represent various body problems caused by different situations. So, why do many female friends not feel itchy down there but feel a sour smell?

What do the 8 odors of a girl's private parts represent?

【Toasted bread flavor】

A toasty or yeasty smell is actually a common yeast infection. This means that the vagina has many times more naturally occurring yeast cells than normal. So if your vagina smells suspiciously like bread, itches sometimes, and has a cheese-like discharge, you may need an antibacterial boost.

【Metallic taste】

A metallic, iron-like smell might be a little scary to you. But this is actually nothing to worry about. Metallic breath usually develops after your period or after unprotected sex. Because periods and sperm have a different pH than a normal, acidic vagina, this means they can affect the smell of your vagina.

Of course, this smell is temporary, so if you notice it lasting for more than a week and is accompanied by any unusual symptoms, itching, or colored discharge, you should see a doctor.

【Fish flavor】

Girls are all very concerned about whether their little sisters smell like fish. If your vagina smells strongly like fish, most of the time, a strong fishy odor means there is an infection. Bacterial infections can often cause a strong fishy odor, so if you smell a strong fishy odor down there along with itching, burning, and increased discharge, you may want to see a doctor.

【Sour taste】

A sour, rancid, musty odor is another sign of an infestation. Trichomoniasis or bacterial infection are both possible. So, if you notice a sour smell down there, see your doctor. If it is an infection, they will prescribe antibiotics to resolve the problem. (If it's not a very strong sour smell, don't bother. Because the vagina is acidic, it's normal to smell slightly sour.)

[Smell of corruption]

No one wants their little sister to smell rotten. But in some cases, it means there's something truly corrupt down there, like a forgotten condom. This smell is not normal under any circumstances. If you smell something corrupt underneath, see a doctor immediately to see what is wrong with you. Don't feel embarrassed, doctors have seen this situation many times and they know how to deal with it.

[Bleach smell]

If you notice the smell of disinfectant wafting up from underneath you, don't worry, it's completely fine. If you've just had sex and used a condom, there may be a bleach or chlorine-like smell left over for a few days. If you don't have sex, don't worry. Some women's secretions smell a bit like bleach.

【Onion or garlic flavor】

This is also normal. If you eat a lot of onions or garlic within 48 hours, your vagina will smell like this. This is a normal body odor. Your body absorbs what you eat and smells like that food. This is a very natural phenomenon and if you want to relieve it, just take a bath.

【Musky scent】

Musk is a strong scent commonly used in women's perfumes. For the little girl, this smell is also a warning. This odor usually occurs after working out, wearing tight clothing, or sweating a lot, as sweat can change the natural smell of your vagina. If you want the smell to go away, try wearing loose, lightweight clothing that allows air to circulate underneath.

The smell of the private parts varies from person to person. Even when you are not menstruating, the smell may not be absolutely fragrant. It may range from sweet to fishy. It is especially important to understand that when there is a strange smell in your body, there are certain reasons. It may usually be a sign of disease or it may be caused by incorrect vaginal cleaning methods.
