What is the fishy smell of vaginal discharge?

Leucorrhea with a fishy smell is a manifestation of abnormal leucorrhea. When a woman has leucorrhea with a fishy smell, it is generally a problem that needs to be taken seriously. You should know that only vaginal inflammation can cause fishy leucorrhea, and fishy smells also have different odors. Only by knowing what kind of smell your problem has can you know what specific disease caused it.

What is the reason for the fishy smell of leucorrhea? Generally, there are three types of leucorrhea with odor:

◆Fishy smell: Vaginitis caused by some anaerobic bacteria infection, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection. In this case, the leucorrhea is often accompanied by a fishy smell.

◆Fish smell: Some cases of vaginitis are caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, and the leucorrhea has a special fishy smell. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulva moisture.

◆Foul smell: If the leucorrhea has a foul smell, it is often caused by a serious infection or tumor of the reproductive tract. Such as malignant tumors of the reproductive tract, severe uterine inflammation, and severe cervical erosion (cervical erosion). Especially for elderly women, if the vaginal discharge has a foul odor and is bright red in color, it is often a sign of a malignant tumor.

If the fishy smell of leucorrhea is not very serious, it is recommended to pay more attention to it. It is best to wear loose cotton underwear, change the underwear frequently, wash the vulva with warm water every day, preferably take a shower, and use a special basin to wash the underwear. It is best to expose the underwear to the sun, or you can use boiling water to scald it.

I believe that after reading this article, you will have a very clear understanding of why your leucorrhea has a fishy smell. It is recommended that all female friends go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination when your leucorrhea has a fishy smell to see what the cause is, and then carry out targeted treatment. Only in this way can the leucorrhea return to normal. However, because vaginal inflammation always recurs, I hope that all female friends will be prepared for a long-term battle.
