Why does the leucorrhea have a fishy smell?

Some women feel very embarrassed because there is some peculiar smell in their private parts, especially even if they wash it every day, but there is still some bad smell occasionally, especially some leucorrhea, which also smells a bit fishy. What is going on? Is it caused by some disease in the body? Many women will have this problem, and they don’t know what the problem is. The following is a brief introduction to some causes.

Normal vaginal discharge for women is transparent or milky white, with no special pungent smell. If the color, nature and smell of vaginal discharge change, it is abnormal and may be caused by some gynecological disease. If women find that their vagina has a fishy odor and is often accompanied by an increase in vaginal discharge, they may have vaginitis, which is often a symptom of bacterial vaginitis.

It is recommended to do routine tests of vaginal secretions and leucorrhea as early as possible. First, it is necessary to clarify what kind of bacterial infection is caused, and then carry out symptomatic treatment. After a woman suffers from bacterial vaginitis, her vaginal secretions increase and have a fishy odor. The odor worsens during or after sexual intercourse. This is because the ammonia content in the vaginal secretions increases.

Increased vaginal discharge is often thin and homogeneous or thin and pasty, and is off-white, off-yellow or milky yellow with a special fishy odor. Since alkaline prostatic fluid can cause the release of amines, the odor may worsen during or after sexual intercourse. The vaginal pH increases during menstruation, so the odor may also worsen during or after menstruation.

In life, once women have excessive vaginal discharge and a fishy smell, they need to pay attention to it. Some gynecological diseases can cause vaginal discharge to have an odor. If it is not treated with anti-inflammatory measures for a long time, it can easily lead to organ lesions. Once such an odor appears, active treatment is needed.
