The article explores female intimate health, emphasizing vaginal pH balance and common issues.
The vaginal pH ranges between *”3.8 to 4.5″* and changes during the menstrual cycle. Sweat glands help maintain this balance.
A *”fishy odor”* is often a sign of poor hygiene or *”bacterial vaginosis, which disrupts the vaginal pH and promotes bacterial overgrowth.”* Infections like *”trichomoniasis or vaginal candidiasis”* can also cause unpleasant smells.
Persistent odors may indicate STIs or, in rare cases, *”health issues like uterine cancer.”*
Regular gynecological check-ups are essential, and any ongoing odor should prompt a specialist consultation.
