A member asked:

Can taking too much shower cause vaginal area to smell? can body wash cause vaginal smell?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Daily showering shouldnt cause it to smell bad. However, if you have an infection in the vagina, it can cause foul odor. See your GYN for treatment options.
