What is the smell of vaginal discharge?

If there is an odor in the leucorrhea, it means that the odor is quite obvious. Generally speaking, it is related to some inflammation. The most common one is vaginitis. The manifestation of leucorrhea will be different for different vaginitis. For example, candidal vaginitis often causes the leucorrhea to turn yellow and become viscous. If it is Trichomonas vaginitis, the leucorrhea will often appear pus-like, and sometimes there will be foam, etc. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What is the smell of vaginal discharge?

1. Fungal vaginitis: The vaginal discharge of this type of inflammation is usually yellow or white in color, viscous and sometimes thin, but it has a very special feature that it is in the form of curds or tofu dregs;

2. Trichomonas vaginitis: When this type of inflammation occurs, the leucorrhea is generally pus-like, foamy, yellow in color, and accompanied by a foul odor;

3. Bacterial vaginitis: When there is this kind of inflammation, the leucorrhea is generally grayish yellow or grayish white, thin and even, and has a special smell, with a fishy odor.

4. Chronic cervicitis or cervical erosion: This is a very common gynecological disease. In this case, the amount of leucorrhea will generally increase, and it will be grayish white and accompanied by an odor.

In short, the odor of leucorrhea is a generally abnormal physiological manifestation and may also be a hidden danger of gynecological diseases, so female friends should pay attention to it.

Leucorrhea should be colorless and transparent

Or it is milky white, so what causes abnormal leucorrhea with odor? Clinical findings show that most of them are caused by personal hygiene. Therefore, it is recommended that when the body is in normal condition, you can just clean the vulva with clean water, and there is no need to use any bactericidal and anti-inflammatory female washes. Because frequent flushing with lotion will actually destroy the self-cleaning function of the vagina, leading to the incidence of some gynecological diseases.

If the leucorrhea has an odor, then female friends should be vigilant. This is what we generally call abnormal leucorrhea. Not only the change in odor should be noted, but if the amount increases without any reason, and the color and texture change, these should also cause attention. Normally, the amount of vaginal discharge increases during ovulation because the cervical mucus increases before ovulation. It can also increase when taking oral contraceptives because the hormone levels in the body change. It can also increase during pregnancy. The increase in vaginal discharge in such a situation is a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is caused by other unknown reasons, it should be paid attention to.
