So embarrassed to see dr about it unless I really have to but wonder if anyone can offer advice or suggestions on what they think it is. My vagina/area in general down below smells a bit like b.o. would smell under a sweaty armpit but I was daily, shower or bath and I've never had this before. I did have baby 6 months ago. Any ideas?

Perhaps see your doctor to rule out thrush or BV or anything like that.

Thrush? That would be my first guess. I had it after having a baby, I didn't really notice any symptoms and then had an exam for something else and apparently it was a really bad case! So you can get it without all the traditional symptoms.

You can buy OTC thrush pessaries if you prefer?

Remember that you sweat everywhere.
Are you, perhaps wearing something that is increasing that, such as underwear out of a synthetic material?
