Can the fishy smell of leucorrhea be cured on its own?

Some female friends found that their leucorrhea had a fishy smell. They didn’t know what caused it and felt that it would heal on its own, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. Any abnormalities in leucorrhea require attention, as this may be a warning from a disease. The specific cause must be identified promptly, and targeted treatment and care provided are provided.

When you find that there is a fishy smell in your lower body, the best way is to go to the hospital. After all, we know very little about it, and we don’t know why the smell occurs, nor do we know how to solve it correctly. Don’t blindly go to the hospital to buy something to clean it yourself.

Some young women have increased vaginal discharge, which often has a foul odor; after each sexual intercourse, the vagina also emits an unpleasant fishy odor. It turned out that bacterial vaginosis was the culprit. Bacterial vaginosis refers to a disease caused by the massive reproduction of multiple pathogenic bacteria in the vagina. It mainly leads to the imbalance of the vaginal ecological balance, putting the vagina in a pathological state.

It is not called vaginitis but vaginosis because there is no inflammatory reaction in the vaginal mucosa and white blood cells are rarely detected in vaginal secretions. Therefore, it was officially named bacterial vaginosis by medical organizations in 1984. The bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis are mainly Gardnerella vaginalis. Gardnerella is anaerobic and can grow easily in the vagina. The growth temperature of Gardnerella is 25-40℃, and the optimal temperature for reproduction in the human body is 35-37℃. At pH 4.5, Gardnerella is not easy to grow, and at pH 4.0 it does not grow, which is consistent with the acidic environment in the vagina of healthy women of reproductive age.

Since vaginal lactobacilli in the vagina of adult women can break down the glycogen contained in the vaginal epithelial cells into lactic acid, keeping the vaginal secretions acidic (pH 4-5), and the acidic environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella, even if 60% of healthy women carry vaginal Gardnerella, no clinical symptoms will appear. Once the vaginal environment and acidity change, such as repeated vaginal douching, drug abuse, etc., Gardnerella and certain anaerobic bacteria will multiply in large numbers. After intercourse, the alkaline semen (pH 7.2-7.5) enters the vagina, further promoting the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria, causing the release of a large amount of amines, so the vagina emits a corrupt fishy smell.

Through the above introduction, we can clearly understand what causes the fishy smell in the private parts. Therefore, female friends must seek treatment in time at this time, otherwise it will have a great impact on the health of the body. In fact, many times women have these problems because they did not take preventive measures in their daily lives.
