Why Does Postpartum Odor Happen?
Postpartum is a time of drastic change, and odor is one of the unexpected side effects many women experience. Here’s what’s really happening:
When you give birth, your body undergoes a hormonal rollercoaster. Your estrogen levels drop sharply—similar to menopause—and this can cause:
Increased sweating
Hot flashes, night sweats, and nursing can all cause more moisture, which creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive and cause odor.
Shifting pH levels –
The changes in your hormone levels also affect your skin’s and vaginal pH. These shifts can lead to stronger, more noticeable odors—especially in places you never thought would be a concern.
Swollen, healing body –
As your uterus heals and fluids are expelled from your body, the tissue breakdown and exposure to bacteria can lead to the kind of odors we don’t want to talk about—but are completely normal.
