(laughs) Vaginal odor, here we go. (laughs)

(playful music)

It's totally normal for your vagina

to have a certain amount of odor.

We're not meant to smell like roses down there

but if you're noticing that it's particularly fishy

or it smells very strongly,

you may wanna get it checked out

'cause it could be a sign of an infection of some kind.

What I don't recommend doing is trying to use a douche

or some other harsh cleanser down there

that can actually affect the pH balance in your vagina,

affect that bacteria I talked about and make the odor worse.

When you pass gas during your period,

you may notice that it smells a lot worse.

This is actually quite normal

and it's because of the hormonal shifts

that are occurring during this time.

So, one thing you can do is try to avoid certain foods

that make you even more gassy like broccoli or cabbage,

carbonated beverages but also know

this is a totally normal part of having your period,

lucky us, a lot of things happen during that time

and it too will pass.

I'm sorry to say that hair around the nipples

is something that happens very commonly

especially as we get older

and more with darker-haired women.

A few stray hairs is really nothing to worry about.

If it bothers you, you can just pluck them out

but if you're noticing a heavy amount of hair,

either around the nipples or really anywhere in your body

that it wasn't before, you may wanna be checked

for some hormonal imbalances,

things like polycystic ovary syndrome can cause this,

talk to your doctor.

Sometimes, women forget to remove a tampon,

they may even have sex with a tampon in

because they forgot and then they can't reach it

to get it out.

So, what should you do?

Definitely don't start inserting hooks in there

or anything you can think of to get it out,

go see your GYN because you don't wanna hurt yourself

or damage any tissue in there.

Your gynecologist will be able to safely remove it.

There's no way it can insert so high into your body

that it starts swimming around your body

so don't worry about that but it's something

that you wanna ask a professional to help remove.
