Ladies, I do not know if this will work for you but black men swear by it for both male and female acid discharge.  Drink pineapple juice everyday if you can.  Cranberry is good too but not as good as Pineapple.  I can tell a big difference when he misses even a few days.  Otherwise, he tastes like candy and so do I. He told me about it when we first started dating and never complained after that.  I also eat real greek yogurt everyday.  I hate the taste but add two packets of equal to sweetened it up a but with some granola on top.  Good luck!

I discovered that this sour taste is due to mildly elevated yeast levels (subclinical) so will not be raised in blood tests or enough to cause symptoms of thrush etc.  The best way to make an immediate difference is to buy the Canesten pessary.  Once the pessary has dissolved and done its work (this usually takes 2-3 days) your taste will be back to normal ladies. Then reduce your consumption of yeast products, including wine and sugar.  Eat lots of green vegetation and drink loads of water.  Take a probiotic for a good month or two. I am a Naturopath and although I do not usually recommend medication, but this is the quickest way to resolve the issue as yeast balance is a difficult one to correct for most people as they do not want to make the necessary diet changes to correct the problem, which takes a little longer, everyone wants a quick fix..  Eventually however, you do need to look at your diet and lifestyle or it will just happen again.  As far as drinking pineapple juice to sweeten up is concerned,  have not tried this so cannot comment.  Pineapple juice is high in sugar and sugar feeds yeast....so it does not sound like the best idea to me.   I would suggest better to eat fresh pineapple daily so you get all the natural goodness of the whole fruit without just the concentrated sugar of pineapple juice.

I'm 26, male and I feel your frustration however our sperm doesn't taste like flowers either, I don't mean to sound un-empathetic, I've never told my gf that she tastes a bit sharp because I love her too much. However this is my idealogy is that unfortunately there are some things in this world that we can't change about our bodies, if your men really love you that much, they won't be put off...in the bedroom department there are flavoured lubes to experiment around with. Hope this helps. Good luck

All of this is understandable. My question then for you is if the sour smell/taste is normal, what about vulva itchiness, watery light green/yellow discharge that sometimes makes underwear so wet that I have to change into a new pair. I have been tested for yeast infection, BV, all STD's and all are negative. If this is all normal then I seriously want to remove whatever my lady parts are that cause this. My husbands and I's sex life is terrible because of this.

Hi all,

I've had this problem for over a year now, same story as most of you. I've seen all sorts of medical professionals and yes it is Cytolitic Vaginosis. There is no medical treatment at this stage unfortunately the only thing to do is baking soda. Not baths...but actually mix it up with some water water and use it as a douche, somehow. A syringe is really good. That clears up the symptoms 100% for a day or 2. I was using it once a week scared that it might cause damage using it more, but I've been to see another Ob Gyn and she said it can' do any harm at all and to be more persitant, do the douches 2-3 times a week and over a period of time it should subside completely. I've been feeling the same as you guys, depressed and unattractive etc, the whole caboodle. Baking soda is the only thing that definitely works, it's just a matter of trying to get a permanant result as opposed to a temporary one. I hope this helps

Hi ladies, 

im a 29 year old woman and also dealing with the same problem. It started 3 years ago and i tried everything also went to the obgyn numerous times. They did not understand what i was explaining and kept giving my antibiotics for yeast infections. Ofcourse it didnt work because i didnt have a freaking yeast infection!! i did my own research and started the baking soda and water douches twice a week. Directly into the vagina and after  about two weeks or so my body regulated itself and the sour taste and clumpy discharge went away. It comes back on occasion and i repeat the douche. Not really sure what causes it but atleast i know how to get rid of it for a few months. Hope this helps. I know how embarassing and frustrating this is.

Maybe u should try this?

wash ur vagina with feminin wash and water. Wash it clean from ur anus up to ur vagina. Wipe it dry with towel and wipe it again with wet towels. I been tried this for a long time after my friend had the same experience long ago. Now my boyfriend always go down without am asking for it. About the smell, am not sure but the taste normally  depends on what u eat. I tried this with my boyfriend by being a totally vegetarian for only 4 days and he told e that mine were tasteless and his too. We tried to eat fruits especially juices every single day like pineapple, manderin orange juices, it tasted sweet. I hope it helped and I think its no harm trying if it's giving satisfaction to Both parties. But dont forget, to explore the whole vagina it is fun but the clitoris is the key to orgasm! Have a nice day ladies

Sorry, but you are soooooo wrong. It is a real problem and I have this myself. So bad that it has seriously interfered with my sex life....... Did all the testing and after a year of being with one guy all of the symptoms started. And it is on and off since then. So acidic it burns my boyfriend. It has now went on for 3 years and if u have experienced , then you would understand!,

I hate to say this because it means doom for us all but if you've tried even the ph kit and it says normal than maybe it is age related. :(

I found that my discharge tastes sour when I drink coffee regularly. I heard eating pineapples and strawberries is supposed to make it taste sweet, and it really works. You have to eat them daily for a while though and cut out the coffee. I switched to green tea. There are probably a lot of other dietary factors that could change the taste, these are just the two things I noticed for myself.

 A woman knows her body well enough to know when something is wrong. There just isn't enough information out there to figure it out.... If after 22 years of having a normal tasting vagina there is a sudden sour taste that is causing harm to your sex life, it can very well be considered a problem... And it it not just certain times of the month. It has been every damn day for the lasses 6 months and I have been dealing with it too.... For the girls dealing with this I suggest douches with baking soda, however that only relieves the taste for a few days. :( I don't know what else to do, if anyone figures it out please let me know.
