Vaginal Odor?

My wife has "V.O."(Vaginal Odor), what can I do to help her?

There are few things more annoying, or concerning to a woman than a vaginal odorproblem. 

First of all, if you havenoticed a recent change in your wife's vaginal scent, she too, may have alsonoticed.  The next time you are intimate, or after you are intimate, youmay want to let her know that you have noticed a change in her vaginalscent.  

Secondly, all menstruatingwomen's vaginas go through monthly changes wherein her vagina's smell or scentchanges from one day to the next, and throughout her monthly menstrual cycle.Also, the amount of vaginal mucous or vaginal moisture, changes from one day tothe next, and throughout the monthly menstrual cycle.  This is due to theflow of hormones that produce these changes throughout her cycle and also thereason for her monthly menstruation, if she has not conceived. 

Next, a woman that has avaginal odor problem, probably already knows she has a problem, and can berelated to many things related to her menstrual hygiene, vaginal hygiene, and/orfeminine hygiene, but may also be an indication of a medical condition that mayneed immediate treatment.  Because you are concerned about her health, youmay want to let her know that you suspect that there may be a problem and thatyou would like her to go see her ob-gyn to make sure that there is nothingserious.

Here are some of the signsand symptoms related and possible causes of V.O. (vaginal odor):

Vaginal odor may be the result of an inflammation of her vagina.  Thevaginal inflammation is often a result of infection in or around the vagina orvulva, called the vulvovaginal area. Sometimes this condition is referred to asvulvovaginitis.

Causes of Vaginal Odor

Bacterial Vaginosis 
Chlamydia  
Genital Herpes  
Gonorrhea 
Lymphogranuloma Venereum ("LGV") 
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease ("PID")
Sexually Transmitted Infection(s)
Syphilis 
Trichomonas
Vaginal Yeast Infection (candida)
Vulvovaginitis 


Bacterial Vaginosis leads to vaginal odor, what causes it?

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a type of vulvovaginitis. Bacterial Vaginosis occursdue to an overgrowth of one or more organisms that are normally present in your/yourwife's vagina. 

Many times, when a woman begins taking antibiotics, these antibiotics kill offthe natural organisms in her vagina.  This may cause some organisms in hervagina to multiply, and these organisms produce chemicals that cause a fish-like odor characteristic of BV.Vaginal odor may be more acute, and stronger after sexual intercourse. 

Many times, while a woman maybelieve that vaginal douching prevents or helps prevent vaginal odor, especiallyafter menstruation, douching actually disrupts the normal flora, or naturallyoccurring organisms that normally live in the vagina.  Vaginal douching,therefore,  may actually increase the risk of vaginal infection.

Signs and symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis include(s): 

*  Grayish-white vaginal discharge
*  Vaginal itching or irritation
*  Vulva/labial redness, irritation, swelling and redness

Treating Bacterial Vaginosis is normally started after a visit to the ob-gyn whomay  prescribe medication(s) - usually antibiotics.

Other causes of vaginal odor include the following:

Poor vaginal, menstrual or feminine hygiene methods.

Not changing tampons, ormenstrual pads frequently enough.

"Losing" or forgetting a tamponin the vagina, which may lead to a vaginal infection. 

Rarely, an advanced tumor of the cervix or vagina will cause a vaginal odorproblem.
