KETO-CROTCH: Is it a Thing? Should I Worry? (Eat CARBS?)

I did not want to make this video. But, with the latest news articles in women's health magazines, and multiple people reaching out to me about this subject, I thought a video might be helpful. If someone thinks of the keto diet as some new, weird, fad diet, then it is plausible it could cause weird things like keto crotch. If, however, you think of it properly, as the Proper Human Diet that humans have eaten for 1000's of years, then such claims seem silly.

Keto crotch is described as a change in discharge and/or odor of the lady parts after eating a low-carb diet for some period of time. There is no research showing a possible mechanism for such a thing, and no doctors quoted in the magazine articles. I provide medical care for many women in my clinic, many of whom eat keto, and I have not had a single complaint of keto crotch.

Women's magazines plant insecurities in women about their bodies. Stopped reading them decades ago.

[krisher]

This is kind of gross and embarrassing but for me, when I eat carbs and sugars long term, I actually get painful infected pimples or boils in that area. This is completely cleared up on keto, which is just one of the many ways that keto lifestyle improves my health for the better.

[Runshellrun]

I have been on a ketogenic eating way of life since 2002. I have never heard of this! Watch what you put in and on your body. ❤

[gjesy]

Not only no keto crotch, I’ve noted personally, I have far less BO in general, like even after a very sweaty workout my deodorant hasn’t failed, long days at work, no problem. I was curious if others have experienced this too?

[icedrosepetal]

You're awesome, thank you! shame, shame, shame on these companies trying to scare us off our Keto lifestyle!

[nancyarchibald]

Oprah has lost 38 Million in Stock value losses over a 2 month period JUST FROM W.WATCHERS LOSSES.! So sorry to you TV Divas who peddle your plans, menus and weightloss hoopla. We've found something better...and ALL it takes is buying the right KETO groceries and applying the knowledge from a few days binge watching of Dr. Ken Berry's YouTube videos. Get yourself edumacated!!! (lol) Nutrisystem may be next now (?) Don't quit your day job Marie O. ;-))

[dollcina]

Thank you for addressing this...I’m sharing this video with the idiots I work with that love to tell me keto is dangerous. You are my hero and my favorite keto expert!

[saturdayschild]

2+ months on Keto no issues here. This is the first I have heard of Keto Crotch but there does seem to be an attack from different places on the Keto lifestyle so I guess all the fat farms are tired of going out of business because I feel better than I have in 3 years and my BP from 3 days into the diet has been better than it was for the past 3 years. No complaints. Dr. Berry keep the info coming we love your channel.

[theresaa]

What a great doc! Wish there were more like you!!!

[maxotat]

After 3 days on IF and Keto ALL itching disappeared. I DID smell yeasty from my skin (especially from eczema patches on arms) presumably from dispersing/exuding unhealthy yeast out of my body, getting me well. It did not last long. How wonderful to be done with the itching from all orifices!

My husband's 1st wife was a devoted Weight Watcher & was constantly treated for bladder infections for 2-3 years before she died of bladder cancer. Doctors didn't look further than the bladder infection for treatment until it was too late.

[HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

ya know.. if you do a couple weeks on a fruit fast - strict definition of fruit.. seeds on the inside (cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes..avocados etc count) eating a lot of pineapple too.. there are fragrance changes from that too... in a good way.

We are what we eat.

[mamapoppins]

🙋I just suscribed. ✔ This is a great video as well as funny!! LOL Thank you for talking about this.
Most OB/GYN have no desire to tell us that changing our diet will save us all the trouble/ symptoms we're having. Go figure.

[unhinderedliving]

I understand what you are saying, but I very definitely had a change in odor at about two weeks of keto. It was very noticeable.

[trunktreasures]

Before keto I was constantly having yeast & urinary tract infections. Been on keto 2 months & havent even had ☝ one.

[annietoday]

OMG too funny! Gotta keep the advertisers happy! thank Opera for that one! Good job, well handled Doc!

[Hawaiian]

Keto Works....Thank you for sharing Doc...

[hollyharz]

LOL i love you Dr Berry...keto Butt Rot...LMAO!!!! I've been keto for 2 years and 4 months...and never had anything like this. totally shocked this morning when i saw all the hype. Thanks for being there as always!!

[taracoach]

Dr. Berry, I love your videos and I love keto. But I am one of those woman who’ve seemed to develop “keto krotch”. I’m in a bind because I love all the other benefits I got from doing keto, but within the first month starting Keto my kitty drastically changed. I developed multiple yeast infections and then Bv after that. I never had either prior to. Keto krotch is the only reason why I’m afraid to go back on keto. But I miss all the benefits. I’d love if you could respond. Thanks for all you do

[EttaLuLu]

6 weeks into keto, suffering from keto rash/itch on pubic mound and labia. Plus it moves all over my body. Hope it goes away because I love the positive effects of eating this way😢
