Secondly, by making baths, lotions and syringing, you will only distort the symptoms. The doctor will be much more difficult to diagnose.
Why there was a problem: bacterial vaginosis
Often, the smell from the vagina is observed whenDysbacteriosis, when the flora is disturbed. This means that those very useful lactobacilli, responsible for the production of lactic acid, can not cope with the task. As a result, pathogenic bacteria begin to multiply more. Also it is necessary to you to catch a cold, to freeze, to catch and be ill, as the inflammation will not keep itself waiting. In addition, because of the low acidity of the vagina does not self-purify, so there accumulate the products of the exchange of pathogenic bacteria, which have time to breed. That's when the same fishy smell appears, to which many representatives of the fair sex complain. What if you have bacterial vaginosis? The only way out is to be treated. After all, you can pass the infection on to your partner. Naturally, provided that its immunity is weakened. And, in order not to face such a nuisance again, it is necessary to find out why this disease occurs. So, the reasons can be the following:
- Unnecessary love of hygiene
Girls who look too often inbathroom, do almost every day syringing, only hurt yourself. The fact is that you just wash away the microflora. After all, not only harmful bacteria are washed away, but also useful (lactobacilli). Remember, you need to bathe twice a day, not every five minutes. Use for this you can only special gels for intimate hygiene, and not ordinary soap. If you neglect these rules, you may get an unpleasant smell from the vagina later on.
- Abuse of contraception
No, if you use conventional condoms(high-quality and expensive, of course), nothing bad will happen to you. Here we are talking about contraceptives, which include antiseptics. It is better not to indulge in such protection, since then you will have to fight with vaginal dysbiosis.
- Use of antibacterial agents
Another reason why people might dielactobacilli, - the use of tablets and suppositories, which are introduced into the vagina. It's one thing when you use them in a certain period of time as directed by a doctor, and another when you are treated yourself. But even if you were prescribed, and after several times your state of health worsened, be sure to inform the doctor about it. He will prescribe other vaginal drugs that do not affect the microflora so much.
- Self-treatment with antibiotics
How much has been said about what to useantibiotics, without consulting in advance with a doctor, you can not. But, despite the warnings of doctors, people still continue to be treated at random. And suddenly lucky and help. As a result, there are problems for both the female part and the GI tract. However, the disease, which is so persistently treated, does not go away. On the contrary, there is a complication - an unpleasant smell from the vagina.
- Decreased immunity
It is a question of hormonal preparations, radialtherapy for tumors, antifungal medications. All this completely kills immunity. As a result of this treatment, you should immediately start taking vitamins and medications to put yourself in order. But with dietary supplements and similar products should be careful, because to guarantee a positive result in this case no one can.
- Intrauterine device
The smell from the vagina can appear in the girl,which is a spiral. First, an alien body is not always perceived by our body. Secondly, because of her increased risk of inflammation, deterioration in the general condition of the fair sex. It is better to choose a different method of protection. 
What is dangerous for bacterial vaginosis
As you already understood, if the vagina is unpleasantsmells, you need to immediately go to the gynecologist. Probably, there are no signs of inflammatory processes visually. Only tests can show that you have problems with lactobacilli and pathogenic microflora. You can hardly determine the cause yourself. And what will happen if nothing is treated? Serious inflammatory processes will begin that will affect the vaginal mucosa, then all this will spread to the female genitalia. As a result, you can earn infertility, and in pregnant women this will lead to a threat of miscarriage.
