Fishy odor after menstruation

The reason why women's private parts have odor during menstruation is that menstruation is mixed with blood, endometrium, sebaceous gland secretions and some sweat, so there will be a more obvious odor. But what does it mean if the private parts feel heavy after menstruation? What should you do if there is a strong odor after menstruation? Let's learn together what to do if there is a strong odor after menstruation.

1. Causes of strong odor during menstruation

When women are menstruating, their lower body may be accompanied by some bad odor. This is mainly because the blood is mixed with blood, endometrium, sebaceous gland secretions and some sweat, so there will be some unusual odor.

In addition, during the menstrual period, due to the high level of male hormones, the secretion of sebaceous glands is also more active. In addition, some women like to wrap themselves tightly during the menstrual period, which increases the infiltration of sweat and sweat odor, which aggravates the odor of the private parts during the menstrual period. Generally, it can be effectively reduced by paying good attention to hygiene.

2. Causes of strong odor after menstruation

If there is a peculiar odor in your private parts when your menstrual period is about to end and continues until after your period, it is probably caused by inflammation. Generally speaking, not paying attention to hygiene during the menstrual period is the main reason for the strong odor after menstruation. In addition, eating too many irritating foods during the menstrual period can also cause gynecological inflammation, and vaginitis is the most common. If you have sex during the menstrual period, it may even cause pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc.

3. Medical care for strong odor after menstruation

1. Temporarily "throw away" tight pants during menstruation

It is true that tight pants are fashionable, but in fact, wearing them for a long time is quite harmful to women. It will block blood circulation, increase friction on the private skin, and increase pigmentation. If you still wear tight pants all day long during your period, the tightness and humid environment will increase vaginal bacteria. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause infection. Why not change the popular wide pants?

2. Don’t change sanitary napkins only when you remember to do so

You don't have to wait until the sanitary napkin is full of menstrual blood to change it. Even if there is not much menstrual blood on the sanitary napkin, there are still a lot of invisible germs. Therefore, you must change the sanitary napkin frequently. It is recommended to change it every 3-4 hours. And it is best to wash your hands and disinfect them before changing them to avoid contamination of bacteria on the sanitary napkin.

3. Be sure to clean the private parts, but do not use shower gel or soap

Some girls who lack basic common sense use shower gel or soap to clean their private parts during their menstrual period, thinking that this is very clean. But in fact, the skin of the private parts should not be cleaned with overly irritating cleaning products, as this will weaken the acidity and alkalinity in the vagina, resulting in a decrease in vaginal immunity and causing infection.

During the menstrual period, you can actually wash the vulva with warm water every day. Be careful not to let dirty water flow into the vagina to avoid infection. If you use a care solution, be sure to use a gentle, cleaning-oriented product. After use, be sure to wash it thoroughly with cold water to avoid residue.

4. Eat appropriate amounts of whole grains and fresh fruits with skin to help with mucosal metabolism

Lack of vitamin B22 will affect the metabolism of the skin mucosa, which is manifested externally as angular cheilitis and internally as vaginal dryness, mucosal hematoma, and even damage. Black rice, oatmeal or fruits with skin contain a lot of vitamin B22, which can help the vaginal mucosa maintain metabolism and protect the vagina.

5. Keep warm and avoid overwork

During menstruation, avoid anything related to "cold", do not swim, take cold showers, do not eat raw or cold food, pay attention to keeping your waist and abdomen warm, do not catch cold, catching cold during menstruation can easily cause menstrual pain or decreased menstruation, which is bad for the body. In addition, you should avoid excessive fatigue, take more rest, and do some gentle exercises appropriately to make your menstrual period easier.
