A member asked:

Can you get rid of vaginal odor with hydrogen peroxide? i have tried soap and water, although horrid smell still remains.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I : I would recommend you not use hydrogen peroxide as it may make your symptoms worse. A "horrid" vaginal odor is usually due to an infectious process, namely bacterial vaginosis. You will need antibiotics for this. Otherwise, is it possible there is a foreign body in your vagina you are unaware of? The most common I have seen in my practice are condoms and tampons. Please visit your family doctor or gynecologist for a complete examination and diagnostic testing as deemed necessary. Good luck.
