What should I do about vaginal odors? Which cleaner should I use or how should I simply wash my vagina?

Vaginal odor can be a symptom of an infection, such as bacterial vaginosis. It is important to avoid vaginal rinses or douches, as they can disrupt the pH balance of the vagina and lead to infections. If you are experiencing vaginal odor along with other symptoms like discharge, itchiness, or changes in color or texture, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Taking probiotics may also help balance the vaginal flora and reduce the risk of future infections.
