Normal Vagina After Kids?
Posted: 04-03-06 12:47pm

After having 2 kids my vagina has an odor. I would like to get rid of it for good. It is strongest after my period and has minimal leaking, which is clear. I started using noroforms, but I feel like I should not need this. Is there a more serious problems or am I just not aware of what a large majority of women really go through?

Yeah I have the same problem...After my period I always have this akward smell ...Its stinks so much to where I dont want to have sex or even be touched...I never had this problem until after my son was born..I wish I could also figure out the reason to this..I douche and yet that doesnt work.

Sounds like you could have vaginitis or a bacterial infection. You may want to get to your Dr. So he/she could have a look at it. It's common to have a hint of odor (especially before/during/after your period), but when it's smelling bad enough to bother you, i'm not sure that's normal. Also, keeping your pubic hair trimmed will help. I don't think douching is as popular as it use to be. It forces good bacteria out of the vagina which could result in bad bacteria growing which could cause yeast infections, uti's and so on. Hope I helped a little. Good luck! :-)
