What causes menstrual period to have a fishy smell?

If some women have problems with their bodies, it will seriously affect their physical health. Therefore, once patients have problems with menstruation, they need to pay attention to timely treatment to avoid danger caused by menstrual problems. So what is the matter with the fishy smell of menstruation? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

Leucorrhea refers to a liquid secreted from the female vagina, which under normal circumstances plays a role in lubricating and protecting the vagina. However, when the color, quality, and quantity of leucorrhea are abnormal, it is a manifestation of a certain disease. So what happens when leucorrhea has a fishy smell?

An authoritative gynecologist at Yan'an Liren Hospital pointed out that leucorrhea is a physiological secretion of every woman of childbearing age, and the leucorrhea secreted by healthy women should be colorless and odorless. However, if there is anything abnormal in the leucorrhea, it indicates that there is a disease in one of the organs of the female body. If the leucorrhea has a fishy smell, it is more likely to be a gynecological inflammation.

Cervical erosion, some anaerobic bacterial infections, Trichomonas infection or vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis infection are more common in married and weak women. The cause of the disease is mostly due to damage to the cervix during sexual intercourse or childbirth, which allows bacteria to invade and cause the disease. It can also be caused by weak constitution or bacterial infection during menstruation. The main symptoms are excessive yellow leucorrhea with a fishy odor, lower abdominal pain, back pain and other discomfort symptoms.

In daily life, female friends must pay more attention to observe the changes in leucorrhea. If there is a sudden increase in leucorrhea, a change in color, an odor, or blood, it is very likely caused by a gynecological disease. You should go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, confirm the cause, and receive targeted treatment as soon as possible.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If pregnant women have the above problems, they need to pay attention to take the above methods in time to ensure their physical safety and avoid the worsening of their condition due to menstrual problems. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
