If you have bacterial vaginosis, you are well aware of a fishy odor that is found in your vaginal secretions.

The odor worsens after sexual intercourse, which makes sense because during sex, the vaginal secretions increase. However, knowing that doesn’t make it any easier; what do you do?

Do you stop getting excited during lovemaking?

If you opt for this route, your partner could conceivably start thinking that you’re not interested in him anymore or imagine that you are seeing someone else.

Fishy Odor Caused By Bacterial Vaginosis

Have you noticed that it’s downright embarrassing and may at times, make you feel ashamed? If not, think hard for a moment.

How did you feel at these times when the odor was quite strong?

• at holiday meals when you’re around other females who know what the smell is
• at work when you’re working late and you notice that the smell intensified during the day
• after making love in the morning, then going to work
• while socializing or networking at a party after a long day of work (How many great contacts did you really get on these days?)
• while out on a date at a restaurant when the waiter’s nose twitches every time he comes to the table
• when your children (or the children you are around) ask, “What’s that smell?”
• in the locker room at the gym or at school when you’re around other women
• while sitting in church on a hot day when the fans aren’t working and you have to climb over everyone in the pews
• while working in tight quarters with men at work
• during cheer leading practice
• during dance practice or during dancing events on weekends

The fact is that the fishy odor follows you everywhere and you must do something about it.

And this fishy odor is found in just about everyone with bacterial vaginosis.

So how can you overcome it?

You might think that using deodorant sanitary pads are the answer. Trying to cover it up with a stronger smell seems to make sense.

Well, think that solution through pretty carefully before you use it. Look at the evidence about the link between deodorants and breast cancer. Why is it that the highest number of breast tumors are found in the area of the breast  closest to where deodorants are applied in the armpit? And now you want to wear a deodorant pad? Common sense says that this won’t work in the long run.

Let’s face it.

You could spend time trying to trick yourself into believing that the smell isn’t there. You can even get into denial and accusation by asking the question, “What’s that smell?” when you’re amongst a group of people, even though the smell is coming from your vagina. But these coping mechanisms are not based on truth and your body registers every lie you tell.

Really, the only answer is to clear up the bacterial vaginosis and clear it up fast.

What You Can Do About The Fishy Odor

Here are some ways to do just that:

• Eliminate the bacterial vaginosis within a few hours by eating yogurt, consuming probiotics or slipping a probiotics capsule into the vaginal area.

• Thousands of women report that one little capsule of probiotics in the vagina can clear up the fishy odor in a few hours. Others report that the fishy odor is gone overnight. You can continue the procedure for 7 days, just to make sure there are plenty of Lactobacillus bacteria in the vagina.

Again, don’t waste your time with psychological methods to deal with bacterial vaginosis. Go right for the cure.
