Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is keto crotch? What causes it? Does everyone get it? Can the vaginal odor vary from person to person, and what can you do about it? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
The keto crotch means a change in the odor of secretion, especially vaginal secretion. So bad vaginal smell or altered smell can be there. This change is seen in those who are on a low-carbohydrate diet. Everyone does not get it. The odor may vary from person to person, and nothing can be done. It is not a disease.
If there is a presence of foul smell, itching, and vaginal discharge, then rule out vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas by taking a swab. This change is usually seen due to an alteration in vaginal pH.
I hope I have answered all the questions.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
