Well... you could shave.

A yeast infection smells yeasty. It also itches. BAD. You won't have a yeast infection without knowing. The itching is a dead give away. Wink Also the smell. Like baking bread in your undies.

Bad, fishy smells are associated with bacterial vaginosis.

You can go to your doctor and get checked to be safe.

Is it a bad smell to YOU, or does it really smell bad!?! Everyone has a smell... and I wouldn't guess that any vigina smells good lol! The hair probably deosn't have alot to do with it... but if you think it does then just trim it if you aren't comfortable with using a razor. Use a small pair of sissors or a hair trimmer. It really isn't as scary as it seems shaving... use a mirror if you need so that you can see exactly wht your doing! Anyways, like I said, everyone has a smell... and as long as you aren't bothering the people around you then it probably isn't as bad as you think it is:o) Oh, and it isn't a good idea to dusch (sp?) because it washes out all of your natural liquids and stuff.... I'm sure occasionly wouldn't hurt...but don't make it a habit! Good luck!

No no no. Douching is not recommended. It changes the delicate PH balance in your vagina. Your vagina is perfect at cleansing itself - it doesn't need to be washed on the inside. Doing so will throw it out of whack!

If you smell terrible, you need to go see a doctor.
