So I will claim to have one hell of a nose but there is a problem with that. After I had my son I have had this odor. It comes from down there. I dont know weather it is my urin or if I got a infection from ripping. I was on an antibiotic but it made it worse. My boyfriend says he cannot smell it and I dont know how. It does not burn or itch. It just smells. It is almost a musty smell. I am so paranoid about it.

Has anyone had anything like this? If so can you please help me.

Is there any herbal things I could try to stop this?

Could it be my diet?

What can I do next?

It's quite possible you developed a mild yeast infection from the antibiotics.

I recommend you take a bath and add 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of epsom salts. Do not use soaps. In general, soaps can be hazardous to your vaginal canal. So stop using them completely and rinse only with water.

Also, very important, start ingesting large doses of Pro-Biotics, to offset the antibiotics and also start eating Organic Apple Cider Vinegar on salads, avocados, etc.

GL!

Do you have a shower head that is detachable? It makes it easier to clean down there. I know this is gross, but i wash in between all of the folds. I can actually tell when someone doesnt. I have a nose like a hound dog. I hate it. I swear i could smell the lady behind me in a restaurant (recently). I wanted to cry. I am not saying this is you. But, the extra cleaning may help. Good luck :)

Try altering your diet. Do a "cleanse" of sorts where you only eat mild foods. Lots of citrus. No seafood or red meat. Not forever, just a few weeks. Could be a combination of factors, but I would start with the diet. Summer's Eve also makes a great spray deodorant for "down there."

I have the same issue, so I started using baby powder daily after the shower. I just sprinkle it on my underwear and it seems to have taken care of the horrible smell issue.
