What Causes Bad Breath Inspite Of Using Mouth Washes?

Hello, I am emailing you because I am at a loss and really dont want to visit my doctor with these embarrassing issues which I think are all related but I am not a doctor and that is why I am asking a proffessional First one is my severe bad breath, I can brush my teeth three times a day floss and use mouthwash and nothing helps It will mask the odour for about ten minutes after brushing and then it comes back again it is pungent I also have a white coating on my tongue that I can make a bit better with using a tongue scrapper but it never fully goes I also have horrid smelling white stuff in my belly button when i clean it with a cottom bud it really is nasty And lastly I have an issue with a fishy smell coming from my vagina no matter how many times I wash, again it returns within an hour of washing I can smell it alot and it is so embarrassing that I have been single for a long time This started before I was sexually active, so I know it is not a STI or STD I had a smear test last month and it came back fine, but then I dont know if they test for anything other than pre cancerous cells I have had all THREE of these for about ten years you may think I am crazy for not going to my doctor in this time but I am too embarrassed to PLEASE HELP ME Thank you so much Jenny

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

After having read your query I would advice you the following points
* Visit your local dentist and get your teeth cleaned and then follow by using mouth was for a few days.
* Proper brushing and flossing should be followed .
* Clean your tongue with the tongue scrapper.
*If still the mouth odour remains , visit a ENT surgeon to check whether there is any infection in the tonsils and throat that is causing the bad breath .
*For the vaginal bad smell, consult a gynaecologist who will subscribe you a vaginal wash to maintain the pH level , thus reducing the bad smell.
* Maintain a proper body health.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
