Women Only Question

This is embarrassing, after my hysterectomy my whoo hoo has odor. I'm not sure it's from lack of hormones or unbreathable fat?

I bath and shower all the time, wear deodorant down there and keep washing all the time. Am I abnormal?

[Threetimesacharm 1,400]

I am not an expert, but as you mention it could be because of the fat down there. I know as I have lost weight I tend not to be as smelly anywhere on my body as before. I sometimes had to shower twice a day but now once a day is fine. I bet you will notice a difference as you lose weight.

whoo hoo has odor.

Mrs.Gina

when "you"/we are overweight - this could be a problem

agreed Amazon13 - as you lose weight, you will feel better ALL over your body

problem should resolve itself - this is normal

you can always give your dr a yell

Could be from being fat as skin on skin without air circulation is like heaven for odor causing bacteria... Could also be Bacterial Vaginosis. Which is NOT from being fat and can easily be treated with a trip to your lady doctor..

ALSO, if you're in a state of ketosis currently, then I'm sorry to say but you might just be a stinky, stinky girl for a while! I've done diets/fasts that induced a state of ketosis and MAN, did I stink! I'm naturally a rather,, um, aromatic person anyway, so compound that with the ketosis.. and eeeeewwwww.. embarrassing!

While in ketosis in the early days, I definitely had a strong odor from the south. And I am post-menopause.

That is gone now. So is the fat!!

Thank you all, what a relief! I was worried I would be this way forever. Lol
