While it is completely normal for your vagina to have some kind of scent, certain vagina smells can signal something is wrong.
1.A forgotten tampon.
Putrid smells can denote a foreign object such as a forgotten tampon. In this case, the bacteria have multiplied in the object like an abscess, but once removed, the smell should go away. If you can’t remove it by yourself, visit the nearest clinic for help.
2.Certain foods.
What you eat and drink can affect the way your vagina smells. That is why women have to pay attention to what affects their odor at any given time. If you find that your normal scent is off and you’ve been eating more processed foods, try increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables and see if that makes a difference.
3.Sweat.
A sweaty vagina is definitely a smelly one. When you sweat, especially while exercising, your sweat glands in your groin secrete an oily fluid that’s metabolised by bacteria on your skin. This produces a noticeable smell that you can detect after a strenuous exercise session. After exercising or after any work that causes you to sweat, take a warm bath and rinse the vulva with warm water. This will prevent any vaginal odor.
