What causes vaginal odor?

The odor in the vagina is a problem that most women are troubled by. After suffering from this disease, not only do most women feel embarrassed, but they will also have psychological pressure. It will have a great impact on the normal sexual life between couples. So, if there is an odor in the vagina, what kind of disease is it? What are the general causes? The following editor will analyze it in detail.

There are many causes of bacterial vaginitis, such as vaginal foreign objects, vaginal trauma, etc., which may cause damage and bleeding of the vaginal mucosa and cause bacterial infection. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, adnexitis and other gynecological inflammations may also cause bacterial infection of adjacent genitals; contraceptive devices or ointments, chemical drug stimulation can cause corrosion of the vaginal epithelium, leading to bacterial infection, thus forming vaginitis.

Mainly bacteria and Trichomonas. Bacterial infection usually has no symptoms except for the smell and grayish white secretions. The secretions of Trichomonas infection are more pus-like, yellow and thick. However, the secretions caused by the two infections are sometimes very similar. The difference is that Trichomonas can also cause itching, pain during sexual intercourse, and may also cause pain when urinating. These symptoms are usually more severe after menstruation. There is a big difference between the two in terms of the cause. Bacterial vaginitis is the result of a decrease in normal vaginal lactic acid bacteria and an over-proliferation of other bacteria. The exact cause of the disease is currently unknown. It may be related to frequent sexual intercourse, increased vaginal acidity and alkalinity, and weakened inhibitory effect of lactic acid bacteria. Trichomonas is almost always transmitted through sexual intercourse. Studies have shown that if the male partner is infected, the proportion of girls infected is as high as 85%. Moreover, women with Trichomonas infection also have a higher chance of suffering from gonorrhea.

After the above introduction, the editor hopes that everyone should be alert to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis. Once a woman has a gynecological disease, it will definitely affect her sexual life. The vagina is a female reproductive organ, and women should pay more attention to it. If you find that you have this disease, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. After determining the cause, you should then receive symptomatic treatment. Do not eat spicy food during the treatment. I hope this can help you get rid of the embarrassment of vaginal odor.
