Every time after my period, my vagina smells bad

When women are menstruating, they must pay attention to maintaining the following hygiene. For example, the sanitary napkins used need to be qualified and without any silvering agents. And during menstruation, you need to change your underwear every day, and the time for changing sanitary napkins should not exceed four hours. Avoid the occurrence of large amounts of bacteria that may affect your health. Some women do not pay much attention to menstrual hygiene, which leads to gynecological diseases. Why does my vagina smell so bad every time after my period?

(1) This condition may be caused by vaginitis, which is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue. It is mainly caused by poor hygiene habits, long-term sitting, and frequent douching. It is often manifested by itching and burning of the vulva, abnormal leucorrhea, and when the infection involves the urethra, there may be urinary pain, urgency, and even hematuria, accompanied by pelvic discomfort and general fatigue. In severe cases, it may affect reproductive function. Patients with vaginitis should eat a light diet and avoid spicy food to prevent dampness and heat or damage to the yin blood. Pay attention to dietary nutrition and strengthen your physical fitness to drive away evil spirits.

(2) Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry; wash and change underwear frequently, do not share bath towels or bathtubs with others, do not wear underwear made of nylon or similar fabrics, and boil and disinfect bath towels and underwear used during illness. Go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to prevent the inflammation from worsening.

(3) If there is an odor in the lower body during menstruation, it may be vaginitis. If it is mild vaginitis, you may not feel anything at ordinary times, but it will be more obvious during menstruation. You can go to the hospital to check the leucorrhea three days after the menstruation is over, and you can confirm the diagnosis. You can use potassium permanganate to clean, maintain the acidic environment of the vagina, pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the vagina, keep the vagina dry, and take metronidazole orally. If the leucorrhea has a bad odor after the menstruation is over, you may have bacterial vaginosis. The leucorrhea may also have a bad odor after cervical erosion infection. Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets can be used for bacterial vaginosis. If cervical erosion is infected, you can choose compound zedoary oil suppository or clindamycin phosphate vaginal effervescent tablets. It is recommended to keep the vulva clean, change underwear frequently, and preferably wear loose cotton ones. It is best to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and routine leucorrhea diagnosis before choosing appropriate medication.
