What causes body odor?

Many women notice that they have a strong odor in their lower body, an unpleasant smell, and an increase in vaginal discharge. What causes this? Due to women's physiological characteristics, the vagina is particularly susceptible to infection. The odor from the lower body may be due to abnormal leucorrhea or inflammation of the urinary system. If the secretion is abnormal, women can usually find the cause of the disease in the early stage based on the changes in the secretion.

(1) The key to diagnosing diseases caused by secretions is to determine the smell, color, viscosity or quantity of the secretions. Under normal circumstances, the secretions have no obvious smell. Once there is a significant odor, it needs to be taken seriously.

(2) Fishy smell: Some cases of vaginitis are caused by Haemophilus influenzae in the vagina, and the secretions have a unique fishy smell. In addition, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulva moisture. Fishy smell: In some cases of vaginitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, Candida infection or vaginal Haemophilus infection, the secretions often have a fishy smell. Rancid smell:

(3) Foul-smelling discharge is often caused by a serious infection or tumor in the reproductive system. Such as malignant tumors of the reproductive system, relatively severe endometritis, and moderate to severe cervical erosion. Especially for middle-aged women, if there is a foul-smelling discharge and the color is bright red, it is often a sign of malignant tumor. Normal leucorrhea is the same color as egg white, clear and colorless.

(4) Normal leucorrhea maintains a certain viscosity. During ovulation or pregnancy, the discharge is often thin and clear, and can be pulled into threads. Under normal circumstances, it becomes thicker. If the discharge is excessively thick, especially if it has an unusual odor, it may be an inflammation.

(5) When the discharge becomes more and more like leucorrhea, it is a typical symptom of candidal vaginitis. The patient also has severe vulvar itching. People with reproductive tract infections have discharge that contains pus. If the secretion is too thin, it is not a good condition either.

(6) If your leucorrhea is watery, get checked out as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, young women have more secretions. For example, around the ovulation period and after the insertion of an IUD, the amount of secretions is higher than usual. However, patients with cervicitis have increased secretions, which are milky white and mucous. In severe cases, they may be bright red and pus-like. Such patients, when examined by doctors, are generally accompanied by cervical erosion.

Some reproductive system tumors, at the beginning, the secretions also increase, like water, and there is also an unusual smell, or blood is stained. Too little secretion is also the main manifestation of the disease. The key reason for the reduction of leucorrhea is low ovary height or aging. For women in the growth period, the decrease of leucorrhea is not a good thing. It is usually a signal of disease and should not be ignored.
