" My vagina smells really bad, all the time. Even my boyfriend says so. I douche and use personal wipes, but nothing helps. What can I do? Every woman has her own signature scent, based on her body chemistry, which can range from sweet to tangy to musky. However, if your odor is really offensive, you should discuss the problem with your gyno. It&amp;#039;s possible that you have bacterial vaginosis (BV), a vaginal infection, which your doctor can treat with antibiotics. If you don&amp;#039;t have BV, excessive below-the-belt sweating could be the cause of your strong scent. Try washing with a gentle, unscented, antibacterial soap, then patting the area dry with a towel and applying powder to your vulva or to the lining of your panties. You can also use personal wipes throughout the day to keep the area fresh, but douching is not recommended at all because it can upset the natural pH levels of your vagina. (Plus, it doesn&amp;#039;t change the odor; it only temporarily masks it.) If this doesn&amp;#039;t do the trick, ask your doctor to prescribe a mild medication to help control sweating.  Another possible culprit that might affect your odor is your diet.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
