What is the normal body odor of women?

Under normal circumstances, the fluids secreted by the vagina and vulva prevent bacterial invasion and maintain local lubrication; when there are reproductive system diseases, especially inflammatory diseases, a certain amount of inflammatory secretions will be secreted. The former is physiological and the latter is pathological.

Pathological (inflammatory) secretions

It often has a "putrid smell", and the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly, becoming a dirty yellow color, and sometimes even pus and blood. Most are infections caused by various microorganisms, including Trichomonas, fungi, and various bacteria.

Physiological secretions are mostly colorless or very light yellow, thinner, and have a certain relationship with the menstrual cycle.

The most important thing is that this secretion is slightly acidic and has a special sour taste, such as the special "stinky" smell described in ancient novels as "like orchid but not orchid, like musk but not musk". In fact, this smell is unique to women. Most people are accustomed to it and cannot distinguish it. You can tell your classmate to ask his relatives and friends. They will definitely not smell this so-called "smell". From the perspective of the male-female relationship of organisms, this special "smell" may also have a good effect in attracting the opposite sex. Knowing this, you will be at ease.
