If you are concerned about changes in your vaginal discharge, make an appointment to see your doctor or visit Teen Clinic for an exam. It’s natural for vaginal discharge to have a distinct odor and sometimes women just have to get used to the odor of their own discharge. Other times a strong odor can indicate an infection or improper hygiene. A health care provider can do an exam to identify or rule out an infection, and s/he can give you tips on how to take good care of your vagina. Cotton underwear, looser clothing and some changes in diet can help with vaginal health. Avoid douches and vaginal sprays! These will only irritate your vagina and could lead to infection.
