Beware of 5 expressions of women's private parts

Vulvar and vaginal inflammation is the most common gynecological disease, which can cause unspeakable pain to women. Therefore, how to protect the private parts and reduce the occurrence of vulvovaginal inflammation is the key to maintaining health and improving the quality of life.

If you have any of the following 5 conditions, you should be especially careful about the safety and health of your private parts.

1. Changes in vaginal discharge

Normal discharge is odorless, clear and transparent. Changes in secretions are often the beginning of disease. Many pathogenic bacteria infections can cause changes in leucorrhea, such as Candida infection can cause leucorrhea to appear like bean curd residue; gonorrhea leucorrhea appears as yellow-green liquid, etc. Therefore, paying attention to changes in leucorrhea can help detect the disease early and treat it as soon as possible.

2. Odor

Normal vaginal discharge is odorless. If you often smell a fishy or sour odor, this is a sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV), which is usually worse after your period or after sex. In rare cases, tampons may cause odor, so their recommended usage time should be strictly followed within 8 hours.

3. Bleeding

Abnormal vaginal bleeding is often a warning sign of certain diseases. Endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and signs of miscarriage may all cause some spotting or mild bleeding. In addition, menopause, hormonal imbalance, and incorrect use of contraceptives can also cause irregular uterine bleeding. It is very necessary to actively seek medical diagnosis.

4. Itching and rash

If your vulva is red, swollen, and itchy, you may be suffering from vulvar dermatitis, an allergic reaction to anything from shower gel to synthetic underwear. Another itchy rash may be vulvar lichen sclerosus. A rash can also be a sign of herpes. If you or your partner has symptoms of herpes, avoid having sex and see a doctor immediately. Pregnant women must be treated if they develop severe herpes because they could infect their baby during delivery.

5. Burning sensation

If you experience frequent, urgent, or painful urination, a bacterial urinary tract infection may be the culprit. In rare cases, burning pain in the vulva may occur, which may be caused by recurrent vulvovaginal inflammation, trauma, or other problems.
