The most embarrassing thing in the world is to suddenly feel your private parts itchy in public. If there is an odor coming out, it would be even more sad. However, under normal circumstances, as long as you maintain good personal hygiene, this situation will not occur. However, some women who have just given birth will have this problem. Why is it itchy and has an odor ten days after giving birth? Why is it itchy and smelly ten days after giving birth? 1. Excessive sweating Like your underarms, the skin around your genitals is also prone to excessive sweating. When sweat and secretions mix together, it can make that natural musky smell stronger and a little unpleasant. To reduce this bad odor, change clothes promptly after exercise and wear clothing made of breathable fabrics. 2. Hormone changes Vaginal discharge changes during your menstrual cycle. Hormone therapy, birth control pills, and vaginal cream use can also affect vaginal pH and odor. Menopause also brings about major changes as decreased estrogen levels lead to an increased incidence of yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. 3. The forgotten tampon This smell is very unpleasant and can be solved by quickly removing the tampon. Although rare, leaving a tampon in for too long can lead to a serious infection, and you should see your doctor if you experience symptoms (brown discharge and odor). 4. Medications and supplements Antibiotic medications can affect the balance of microorganisms in the vagina and cause changes in odor and discharge. Antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness and a decrease in vaginal discharge, which may also have an effect on vaginal odor. Additionally, herbal and essential oil remedies may also cause vaginal odor. |
