A sour or tangy smell down there? It’s more common than you think — and here’s why it happens:
1️⃣ pH Imbalance – When the natural acidity gets disrupted (like from soaps, tight clothes, or even your diet), it can cause a sour scent.
2️⃣ Sweat & Heat – The groin area traps heat, especially in summer or with synthetic underwear, causing odor buildup.
3️⃣ Bacterial Vaginosis – A common overgrowth of bacteria that changes the natural smell. Often comes with discharge or itching.
4️⃣ Food & Hygiene Habits – Garlic, onions, sugar-heavy diets, or poor hygiene can impact the scent too.
👉 Most of the time, it’s nothing serious. But if it’s strong, fishy, or comes with other symptoms — time to check with a doctor.
💡 Tip: Cotton underwear, balanced hygiene, and a clean diet help a lot.
🩺 Women’s health isn’t taboo. It’s knowledge.
