Fear #1: Other people being able to smell the period
Fear #2: If period smells are associated with other issues
Fear #1:
Yes, periods do have a smell of their own (all women's periods have its own distinct smell, it's natural), but can other people smell it? Even though you might notice, it's likely other people won't because they aren't as close to you as you, yourself. Often you might not even notice because it's so subtle. If anyone actually could smell it, they'd have to sniff "down there" closely, but I don't think you'd let them get that close. But if you really are concerned, you should practice good hygiene by showering everyday paying special attention to "down there, changing sanitary products as often as needed (to feel fresh, smell fresh, and be courteous to the comfort of others), and wearing breathable, cotton underwear.
Fear #2:
All periods naturally have their own, subtle smell, but if the smell is really strong, could it be some sickness? Only a doctor can know for sure. If you follow a good hygienic routine, this shouldn't happen, but if it does even on your most stringent routine, seeing a doctor is advisable.
