These are all symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection. There is no known cause of BV, but it can lead to an overgrowth of normally occurring vaginal bacteria and an infection. Many women display no symptoms of BV other than an unpleasant odor. Your doctor can confirm you have BV during a check up. Certain activities, like unprotected sex and frequent douching, can increase your risk of developing BV. You may also experience pain when you urinate. These are symptoms of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. Men who have trichomoniasis usually display no symptoms, so both partners should be treated for this STI once it is diagnosed. You should always practice safe sex and use condoms to reduce your risk of getting trichomoniasis. You may also experience itching, soreness, and a burning sensation when you urinate or have intercourse. These are all symptoms of a yeast infection. This infection occurs when there is an overgrowth of yeast in your vagina. These could be signs that the odor is due to hormonal changes during menstruation or between ovulation and your next period. You are susceptible to unpleasant vaginal odors during these stages of your cycle. Depending on your age and your medical history, you could also be experiencing another hormonal change: menopause. Women can experience a smelly, watery discharge during menopause. When your whole body sweats, your vagina can end up smelling sweaty and unpleasant. Your external genitals have a special gland called apocrine sweat glands, which are also found in your armpits, nipples, ear canals, eyelids, and the wings of your nostrils. These glands release an oily fluid that is metabolized by the bacteria on the surface of your skin, thereby letting off a noticeable smell. Wearing tight clothing and sweating in tight clothing can make the odor worse by trapping sweat and bacteria onto your skin. If you are overweight, it may be difficult for your body to release odors around your groin due to skin folds from excess weight. If you forget to remove your tampon, this can cause a buildup of menstrual blood and bacteria. This buildup can irritate your vagina, causing itching and a strong, unpleasant smell and discharge. If you realize you forgot to remove your tampon, you should see your gynecologist immediately. She can safely remove it for you and treat any infection due to the forgotten tampon.

Some premature babies will just need more time for their lungs to mature, while others may suffer from more serious complications. The more that you know and understand about what your baby needs, the better you will be able to ensure he is receiving the treatment and care that is best for him. Speak with neonatal nurses and technicians every time they make their rounds. Inquire about improvements or setbacks in your baby's conditions. If you do not understand something, don't be afraid to ask. Find out when the NICU head doctor will be stopping by. Generally, head doctors stop by once or twice each day to check in on their patients. Sometimes, if you have a specific question about your baby's condition or his treatments, the nursing staff may not have the answer for you. If you know when the head doctor will be making his rounds, you can make sure you are there during those times and you can ask to speak with him directly. Depending on how premature you baby was, he can be in the NICU anywhere from a few days to several months. The NICU staff will be your baby's full-time caregivers until he is discharged. Take the time to familiarize yourself with each staff member that will be caring for your baby. If you are comfortable with his caregivers, you will be more at ease knowing that he is in good hands during those times when you cannot be there.

Nettles, eyebright, and butterbur can be used in steam treatments if you have the dried herb. You will only need 1 teaspoon (about 1 g) of the dried herb per treatment session. Stir the herb into the water so that it is fully combined. You do not need the water to be actively boiling, just steaming. Cover your head with a towel and inhale the steam using both your nose and mouth. Do this for as long as you want to, but the longer you do it for, the more your sinuses should be cleared out.
