It is normal for a woman's vagina to have a normal smell but if the odour becomes strong or unpleasant, it becomes an issue to see your health adviser/doctor.
Vagina odour can be caused by various factors, these include :
Poor hygiene.
A woman who does not wash her private part with clean water after urinating is prone to strong odour from her vagina. When a woman does not bath regularly, she may be exposed to such odour too.
Infection.
Chronic infection can also cause a bad smell to emanate from the vagina if left untreated, this strong odour may be accompanied with itching or irritation of the vagina.
Washing inside the vagina with soap that contains soda or iodine.
When you wash inside your vagina with soap that contains soda or other unhealthy fluids, it can kill the healthy bacteria that keeps the vagina balance.
Wearing dirty underwear.
If you wear a dirty underwear, it may expose you to vagina odour.
