Postpartum vaginal discharge with a foul odor

After giving birth, women will have a lot of secretions flowing out of their lower body, which is also called lochia. Women will have lochia for a very long time, and it is very likely that the lochia will not be discharged cleanly. At this time, women need to go to the hospital for medical treatment, and their private parts need to be cleaned in time to avoid the occurrence of diseases. So what should I do if there is a bad smell one month after giving birth?

Gynecologists say that leucorrhea is a secretion from the female vagina, which is a mixture of exudates from the vaginal mucosa, glandular secretions from the cervix, and secretions from the endometrium. If there is something abnormal in the leucorrhea, some diseases may be discovered. So what if the vaginal discharge smells bad after childbirth?

The diagnosis of leucorrhea is mainly based on the smell, color, thickness or amount of leucorrhea. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea has no obvious odor. Once there is an obvious odor, it should be taken seriously.

1. When the leucorrhea has a fishy smell, it may be due to anaerobic infection, Trichomonas infection or vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis infection.

2. When the leucorrhea has a fishy smell: Some vaginitis is caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, and the leucorrhea has a special fishy smell. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulva moisture.

What is the reason why the vagina smells a bit more than a month after delivery? It may also be the odor caused by abnormal postpartum lochia. It is recommended that women pay attention to protecting vaginal hygiene and vulva cleanliness after delivery. If the lochia has a foul odor, it may be a postpartum infection. If the leucorrhea is smelly, it is very likely a vaginal disease. If a woman finds any abnormality, she should go to the hospital for examination in time.
