🤔 While several things can cause your vagina to smell like ammonia, there are a few things you can do to help prevent it, including:
not douching, as it disrupts the balance of bacteria in your vagina
drinking plenty of water, especially when exercising
wiping from front to back to reduce your risk of getting a bacterial infection
wearing 100 percent cotton underwear and loose-fitting pants
regularly washing your vulva with warm water
wearing panty liners or frequently changing your underwear if you’re prone to urine leakage
The bottom line
If you notice the smell of ammonia around your vagina, it could be due to extra sweat, urine, or an infection. If the smell doesn’t go away with regular rinsing and drinking more water, contact your doctor. You may need a prescription to help treat an underlying infection.
