What causes vaginal odor?

The causes can vary, but it's important to recognize when it's a normal change or a warning sign. Some of the most common are:

• Vaginal pH imbalance: This occurs when lactobacilli decrease and odor-causing bacteria proliferate.
• Infections: such as bacterial vaginosis, which may have a metallic odor.
• Hormonal changes: menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause can affect pH.
• Unsuitable products: such as perfumed soaps or tight synthetic clothing.
• Sweat and moisture: especially from not changing after training.
