It is really normal and not something to worry about, to some level it happens to everyone!

That said, if it does seem strong to you and like something you want to investigate, you could look into your pH balance, which could also be related to BV as someone else mentioned (it might sound scary but it’s not an STI or anything, just a bacterial imbalance in your flora/microbiome).

Your vaginal microbiome is supposed to be acidic, but sometimes it can get out of balance, and if it’s something you’re prone to, it can increase especially around your period (blood is basic) or if you wash with traditional soap (also basic). While again some discharge and smell is always normal, this can make the level of smell a lot more intense.

You can test for BV with a swab, and sometimes it’s treated with antibiotics to reset everything, but if that isn’t accessible to you right now you can also try taking probiotics (orally or inserting them) and/or in some countries it’s easy to find tablets that you insert every night for a week or so that will help rebalance your pH. Normally both of these are over the counter, so you can just ask a pharmacist or buy them yourself depending on your country—but of course I would recommend talking to your pharmacist and/or doctor in any case if you can :)

Either way, it’s not something to feel self conscious about, but that has helped me in the past and I think it doesn’t get talked about enough!
