Q: Why does my wife's vagina smell like onions or garlic sometimes?

It is not all the time that it smells like this. In the past it would smell more like garlic. Here lately when I go to perform oral sex, it has a strong onion smell. It does not taste like onions as much, just smells like it. Can eating certain foods make the vagina smell like food? Or is there something wrong that needs checked out?

Some reasons for an odor are listed in this article. On the left in that article are links to other parts, such as causes and when to see a doctor. I think if the odor is often present, an exam by a doctor is probably a good idea, as that article will mention. Foods eaten are really not a cause of odor at that location.
