Coppery
A coppery, metallic odor is common during menstruation or after sex. During your period, tiny amounts of blood and tissue from the uterine lining remain in your vaginal canal. Blood is usually loaded with iron, which causes a metallic odor. Having vigorous sex or penetrating a dry vagina can cause light bleeding. With blood in your vagina, its odor changes.
Tangy
Like copper odor, the tangy odor should not freak you out. This smell mostly stems from acidity. I mean when the pH of the vagina is slightly acidic. During this time, the Lactobacilli bacteria works within its power to prevent the overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria.
Any Major Warning Signs When It Comes to Vaginal Odors?
Dead fish odor is one of the major warning signs when it comes to vaginal odor. This smell can indicate bacterial vaginosis caused by an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria and trichomoniasis infection.
