The odor is stronger during ovulation

If a woman's genitals have an unpleasant odor, she should suspect whether she has a gynecological disease, because many gynecological diseases can cause an unpleasant odor in the woman's genitals. However, some women will experience an odor during their ovulation period, because leucorrhea will be secreted during ovulation, and many women will experience abnormal leucorrhea and leucorrhea with an odor. So why do women have a stronger genital odor during ovulation?

Does ovulation have an odor?

The odor during ovulation should refer to the leucorrhea having an odor. When a woman's leucorrhea secretion changes in quantity, color, properties, odor, etc., and at the same time there are symptoms such as low back pain, abdominal pain, and vulvar itching, it indicates that the leucorrhea is abnormal. It is likely that there is inflammation of the reproductive organs or urinary system. Abnormal leucorrhea is common in the following situations.

1. Non-inflammatory leucorrhea

(1) Leucorrhea is sticky and profuse, which is seen after taking estrogen drugs.

(2) Women of childbearing age have too little vaginal discharge, which makes it impossible to meet their physiological needs. Women often feel dryness and discomfort in the vulva. This is often caused by ovarian dysfunction and insufficient secretion of sex hormones, and is also a pathological condition.

(3) Mental stimulation increases the secretions of the vulva, vagina and cervix, which become colorless and transparent.

(4) Leucorrhea is milky white and watery, and may occur in patients with pelvic tumors, retroflexed uterus, and chronic systemic diseases (heart failure, diabetes, anemia, tuberculosis, etc.). It is caused by pelvic and uterine congestion and increased vaginal secretions.

2. Inflammatory leucorrhea

(1) Leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow, purulent, large in amount, and has a foul odor, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

(2) If the vaginal discharge is yellow or yellow-green, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor, it is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.

(3) The leucorrhea of ​​patients with gonorrhea is yellow and pus-like.

(4) The vaginal discharge secreted after amoeba infection usually appears as: bloody serous or yellow viscous secretions, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (looks like yellow sauce soup).

(5) Leucorrhea is yellowish-white in color, and most of the time it is thick, but sometimes it can be thin. It is typically milky white, like bean curd, or in the form of white flakes or lumps, and is mostly caused by fungal infection.

(6) If there is blood in the leucorrhea, it is common in cervical polyps, side effects caused by intrauterine contraceptive devices, submucosal uterine fibroids, severe chronic cervicitis, etc.

(7) When suffering from fallopian tube cancer, due to the tumor stimulating the fallopian tube epithelium to exude fluid and the necrosis of the diseased tissue, the leucorrhea will be intermittent, clear, yellow-red liquid, flowing out of the vagina in bursts, continuously.

(8) When women suffer from cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, uterine cancer and other diseases, the "leucorrhea" they secrete is often characterized by: the amount of leucorrhea is yellow, rice-washing water-like, turbid and foul-smelling, sometimes mixed with blood and light pink in color, and the amount is large.

If a woman finds that the color, smell, amount, and appearance of her vaginal discharge have changed abnormally, she should go to the hospital to see a gynecologist for examination, diagnosis, and treatment in time, because observing the changes in vaginal discharge can assist in diagnosis.
