A member asked:

What if you wash your vagina on the outside but it smells from the inside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal odor: Washing the vagina outside does not affect the inside (vaginal canal). you have to see a gynecologist,possible infection or foreign body.

I hold my urine inside but when I hold it in too long I leak myself. Now, my vagina smells like urine, I wash every day. I thought maybe I have an overactive bladder cause I drink a lot of liquids. What can I do to get rid of my odor or anything?
