Common Myths About Vaginal Odour

• H3 Myth 1: “You should always smell perfectly ‘neutral’ or fragranced.”.
• Reality: natural scent varies and doesn’t need masking.
• H3 Myth 2: “If there’s any odour, there’s an infection.”.
• Reality: odour alone doesn’t confirm infection; context and symptoms matter.
• H3 Myth 3: “Harsh washes or douching eliminate odour.”.
• Reality: these can worsen imbalances and irritation.
• H3 Myth 4: “Certain foods or hygiene habits cause ‘bad odour’.”.
• Reality: some foods may influence scent mildly but are not sole causes.
