Leucorrhea is a very familiar friend to women, and when affected by pathological factors, it will bring a lot of troubles and pain to women. Some women may often smell a sour odor in their leucorrhea, which often indicates that certain diseases have appeared in the reproductive system.

The most common cause of sour leucorrhea is Trichomonas vaginitis, which is caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that often parasitizes the urogenital tract. In women, it mainly exists in the vagina, and also in the urethra, paraurethral glands, bladder and other parts. In men, it often parasitizes in the urethra, prostate and other parts. Trichomonas vaginitis is transmitted indirectly, that is, through baths, tubs, bath towels, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, medical equipment, dressings, etc.

The main clinical manifestations of Trichomonas vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning or pain in the vulva and penis. The typical vaginal discharge is yellow-green, foamy, thin and has a fishy odor. When inflammation invades the urethra, symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination may occur simultaneously. Therefore, when women experience abnormal symptoms such as sour leucorrhea, they should first consider whether they have this disease.

In addition, sour smell in leucorrhea may also be caused by endometritis or cervicitis. Many women did not follow the doctor's advice within two weeks after abortion and had sexual intercourse too early. In this way, bacteria and other pathogens will infect the uterus and other parts through the vagina, which will then cause severe cervical erosion, which is usually manifested by purulent and sour leucorrhea.

You should also pay special attention to maintaining hygiene, take a bath and change clothes frequently. Only in this way can your face look youthful.
