Another very unfortunate and very embarrassing effect of a yeast infection is vaginal odor. This is usually as a result of the vaginal discharge also brought about by the yeast infection. The faster the yeast infection clears up, the faster the odor will go away. So, there are two main reasons why a woman will have vaginal odor. When she has a yeast infection, and when she is menstruating. During menstruation, the odor might sometimes be as a result of bad hygiene, but it's just usually as a result of dried blood and the discarded tissue from the ovaries. Remember though, that it is natural for the vagina to have a musky odor.
When women use douches to clean their vaginal canal, they upset the natural state of things most importantly the pH. They go and clean out both the bad and the good bacteria. This is one thing that will start the ball rolling for yeast infections to start, and thus that very odor you were avoiding in the beginning. The vagina was designed to clean itself. Let it do it in peace.
The use of scented towels and scented tampons is also dangerous. For those who have never heard, Toxic shock Syndrome (TSS) comes about when tampons are left in the vagina for a long time, and the blood ferments in the humidity, and creates dangerous bacteria. Some people leave their scented tampons in for too long, in an effort to mask vaginal odor. The deodorants in the scented pads, tampons, in feminine sprays in the long run upset the pH of the vagina, thus making you more susceptible to yeast infections. A good suggestion is to just let nature run its course.
