You might not want to cut this out after all... 😳
It's no secret the keto diet comes with some icky side effects. Keto flu, keto breath, keto diarrhea—yep, this weight-loss plan has a dark side. But some women say that they're experiencing one especially nasty keto diet byproduct: keto crotch, or a stinky vagina.
Other users chimed in to say they've experienced the same thing. "Oh boy, yes. During the first few months there was some extra smell stuff happening all over—crotch and otherwise. But the good news is that it settles down and goes away after you've been keto for awhile," one wrote. "I'm glad this was posted because I just changed my underwear AGAIN today because I smelled gross," complained yet another commenter. "At least I know I'm in ketosis, I guess..."
