Vaginal Odor After period – Why Does It Happen and How To Get Rid Of It
I’m 2 days off of my period and I don’t have any irritation I can just smell myself? I can like smell my vagina and it doesn’t smell bad it just smells musty I guess. Are there any natural ways to take away this odor? It usually only last about a week but I don’t want to smell like this anymore lol
You may have a vaginal infection that needs immediate treatment. Please consult a doctor.
I don’t know who this woman is but it is very likely that there is nothing wrong, I have been experiencing this my whole life and all of my testing is perfect every year. The doctor says my pH is off, which means you don’t eat enough good bacteria. Yogurt will help but I hate yogurt, so half cup of vinegar and half cup of salt in the bath water is the solution.
You don’t have to eat the yogurt. I learned from my gyno that plain yogurt that has live and active cultures can be applied inside. You take a small amount of yogurt on your finger and stick it inside of you. The good bacteria eats the bad bacteria. I’m 29 and have been doing this since I was 15.
Does it work
Does the vinegar and salt help?
I would carry feminine wipes just to keep her fresh at musty moments!!
I recently had sex with my boyfriend while on my period without using a condom now I’ve been discharging white and I have a bad odor I’ve tried douching for about a week now and it hasn’t gone away what could the problem be?
It seems you have a vaginal infection that needs to be treated by a doctor. Consult your doctor as soon as you can.
Don’t douche it dries you out and messes with your PH balance

Hi I’ve finished my period 2 weeks ago, so I started having intercourse again and my period came back with very foul smell. Ever since get yellow discharge with very strong smell, and doesn’t seem to be clearing. have panty liner on 24/7 which is irritating me now. What could it be am I leaving it to long to see a doc?
Hi,Abnormal discharge may be yellow or green, chunky in consistency, or have a foul odor. Abnormal discharge is usually caused by yeast or bacterial infection. If you notice any discharge that looks unusual or is foul smelling, you should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
I have discharge that is clear & like white on my panties. It smells on my panties but it’s still on my vagina like around on panties like period happen…and it smells like my period but it happens before period time …I have no idea what’s going on what to do.
The odors may be caused from a bacterial infection, hormonal changes in your body, STD’s or a fungal infection. You need to consult your doctor for treatment.
After two days of my menstrual
My Vagina smell like rotten meat
It smells very bad that I can’t even smell myself
What is the cause
Hi Rena, sounds like you have an infection. I would contact your doctor.
Hey there. I have been off my period for only a day now but I have noticed each month how there is a foul odor afterwards. However, my discharge is completely clear and very liquidy. And it happens every couple of weeks. Could this be normal or is the clearness of the discharge be a warning sign?
Experiencing an odor after a period is normal for some women. You can gain more information by reading our blog at http://womanjunction.com/vaginal-odor-period-happen-rid/ In addition to other things, the post explains that “discharges which occur after menstrual periods have no odor or a faint smell. However, you could notice an odorless transparent or white discharge, smelly off-white or white, creamy discharge, green foul-smelling discharge or a brown smelly discharge. In most cases, it is caused by the remnants from a shedding endometrial lining, but the cause could be linked to pathological diseases as well and call for urgent medical attention. The problem might not affect all women the same way and with the same level of intensity, but everyone has to deal with to a certain extent.”

Hi Angie, feel free to join in with your suggestions. thank you, we appreciate it!
Thank you!!
I was wondering why I have this burning sensation inside my vagina while having sex after 2-3 days is this normal…please help…
Hello. This could be caused from vaginal dryness, an infection or chemical irritants from condoms, feminine sprays of bubble baths, etc. You should avoid sex until these symptoms clear up. Consult your doctor especially to determine if you have vaginosis or a yeast infection.
I had a discharge 2-3 days before my period, I also had a bad odor and I also had a fever of 101.9 and headache. Went to Doctor two days after symptoms started and was told I may have a bug and took urine testing and swabs came back normal and std testing done in office so doctor sent off culture. Only the urine culture was sent out not the swabs so I do not know if its positive for gonorrhea or chlamydia. So next day I came on my period, normal flow but still foul smell. Now after my period no discharge, still have foul odor and urinating more, no itching, irritation. I cannot go to doctor for another 5 days. Should I go to the ER?
Hey I have never had ha odor before but it just suddenly started coming and I had forgotten a tampon I in once but the odor went away. Now after every period for the first 2 or 3 days I have this random odor and irk what to do
Tisha same thing has happened to me and I thhough I had a urine infection at first just wear a tampon for the day after your period and change it the same time as per usual and after that wear a small pad or liner because it’s not that much and I do recomend sleeping pant less because it allows the vagina to breathe and get rid of odour and use femfresh or vagil .
I also have this smelly yellowish discharge after my period. I talked to my gyne and gave me flagyl then the smell gone. But after my next period, again there’s a smelly yellowish discharge. Do i have to take antibiotics each time after my period? How should i get rid of it permanently? Thanks in advance.
using RePhresh helps with bacterial vaginosis (BV) immediately. BV is usually the diagnosis when the doctor prescribed Flagyl.
I had experienced vaginal odor for almost a month and experienced dryness of vagina during sex intercourse…im 34 yrs old…some rashes coming in my skin sometimes…please help me
Hi Malidora, if the remedies from the article don’t work for you then you might have an infection. please speak with a professional as soon as possible
I noticed that 3-4 days after my period I have this fishy odour from down below and there is a brownish discharge but after the 4th day it is gone and everything is back to normal but how do I get rid of it entirely ?
Hello Happiness, I dont think you can get rid of it entirely but there are things you can do to minimize it like use vagisil,eat yogurt,Bathe regularly, using warm water, and mild soap to clean the vaginal area,Urinate and wash immediately after sex to flush bacteria from the vaginal area and Make sure to avoid scented female products and douches to clean the vagina.
I thought I forgot a tampon inside me on my 3rd day of my period because it was nowhere to be found when I went to the restroom. I didn’t see anything in the toilet. I went to urgent care and had a doctor shove her fingers in me just to tell me that I didn’t have one in me…it’s been about 4 days since this happened; ended my period about 3 days ago. I have a foul odor coming from down there, is it possible the doctor missed the tampon? All she did was search with her fingers…a finger can only go so far. Shouldn’t she have used an ultra-sound thing or something?
It seems you developed a vaginal infection from having the tampon in for so long. The doctor did the right thing; just like the finger, the tampon “can only go so far.” You need to consult your doctor for treatment.
I have discharge that is clear or white but it’s not on my panties…it smells on my panties but it’s still on my vagina like around my clitoris…and it smells like my period but it’s not…I have no idea what’s going on.
It seems you have a vaginal infection that needs to be checked out by a medical doctor.
It seems you have a vaginal infection that needs to be treated by a doctor. This infection will not go away unless it is treated.
it’s been two months now after my period I have this disgusting odor that is unpleasant..it last for more than 5 days..it’s irritating and I’m feeling uncomfortable with my self..I don’t even know how to tell my husband about it. when I refuse to make love and make excuses.. it happened after I took a morning after pill. two months back that’s when I started having this terrible smell. pls help what could I do?.
Hi Keke. It seems you have a vaginal infection that requires medical attention. Please see a doctor; it may be necessary to treat your husband as well to avoid re-infection. Be honest to him about this uncomfortable situation.
I like to do things on a more natural scope. I do not like taking taking medication at all but sometimes we have to. I have had this for the past 4 months and decided, last month, to sit in some warm water with a half cup of apple cider vinegar. I think it was a bit more than a half cup and it tingled a bit but after two hours, there was no smell. It used to last for four to six days after my period and after those two hours….NOTHING! You can try it. I think mine was a fluctuation in PH but I will try this month if it happens again.
How long were you in the water with apple cider ?
Hope that helps
Thank you for the advice. how do I conceive
