What is the cause of the odor in the lower body of pregnant women?

Women's physiological phenomena are very special. If women do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it is easy to cause gynecological diseases. However, the symptoms of some gynecological diseases are not very obvious, so it is difficult for women to find them in time, resulting in gynecological diseases being discovered only after pregnancy, such as severe ectopic genitals, etc. So what is the matter with pregnant women's genitals having odor?

First, why does a pregnant woman have an unpleasant odor in her lower body? Unpleasant odor in the lower body during pregnancy is mostly caused by bacterial infection. During pregnancy, the urinary system is disordered and some vaginal infections are prone to occur. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, it can easily lead to gynecological inflammation. Generally speaking, the symptoms of gynecological inflammation are vulvar itching, increased vaginal discharge, color changes, contact bleeding, lower abdominal pain, lower body odor, etc. If you find any abnormalities, you should seek medical attention in time and ask a professional doctor to do standardized treatment.

Second, the structure of the female genitals is divided into the vulva, pubic region and vagina. When it comes to cleaning, it usually refers to cleaning the vulva and pubic area. The vulva has its own self-cleaning system. Under normal circumstances, under the action of vaginal lactobacilli, the glycogen rich in the vaginal epithelial cells can be broken down into lactic acid to maintain the normal acidic environment of the vagina, thereby inhibiting pathogens that adapt to reproduction in a weak alkaline environment.

Third, on the other hand, under the influence of estrogen, vaginal epithelial cells continue to metabolize, proliferate and thicken, increasing resistance to pathogens. The compact structure of the pubic area and vagina can also effectively block the invasion of bacteria. The genitals need to be cleaned regularly because there is urine and feces residue on the skin of the genitals, so it is still necessary to clean and remove dirt regularly, but in moderation. Excessive cleaning will damage the protective film on the surface of the vaginal skin and destroy the self-cleaning system. Some can also make the genitals become dry, uncomfortable, and even itchy.

What should I do if there is an odor down there during pregnancy? During this period, pregnant women should pay attention to regular work and rest, pay attention to personal hygiene, and keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid scratching, washing with hot water, and using soap. Underwear should be breathable and loose, and avoid alcohol, spicy or allergic foods. If there is a strong odor from your lower body during pregnancy, you need to get checked out in time. Women should keep their vulva clean and dry, change clothes frequently, use vulva equipment for one person only, wear transparent clothes, wash used underwear, towels, and basins with boiling water, and get more sun exposure.
