It smells a bit down there, what's going on?

Due to the structure of the female reproductive organs, it is easy to have an odor if you do not pay attention to hygiene. But if the smell down there is bad, it may be caused by gynecological diseases, and it is necessary to judge based on other genital symptoms in order to draw a final conclusion. We can first understand some of the reasons. So, what’s going on if it smells a bit down there? What are the reasons? Let’s take a look below.

First of all, women's private parts have a smell, and the smell is caused by the physiological metabolism of the human body. Women's vaginas produce secretions every day. These secretions are weakly acidic and can protect the vaginal mucosa and kill bacteria. The uterus itself also secretes a milky white liquid, which can all play a protective role.

In addition, during menstruation, there are more excretions and secretions, plus urine, etc., so it is normal for women's private parts to have odor. However, if the secretions are too much, especially too much leucorrhea, and the odor is already foul, you should pay attention, because it means that the female private parts are inflamed or infected.

How to protect your private parts

Avoid Over-Cleaning

Many women easily fall into the misunderstanding that the more carefully they clean, the cleaner it is. In fact, the human body has a self-protection mechanism. Normally guided acidity and alkalinity can protect and guide the breeding of bacteria. Excessive cleaning will destroy the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina itself, making it easy to get vaginitis.

It is recommended that women simply rinse the vulva with clean water every day and do not frequently use private care products for deep cleaning.

Try not to use wet wipes

Some women are accustomed to using wet wipes to wipe after urinating or defecating, thinking that this is more hygienic. In fact, the quality of wet wipes themselves is not necessarily up to standard. Many wet wipes themselves carry germs. Not only do they fail to clean, but they bring new germs. Wet wipes should only be used in emergencies when there is no condition for washing, and should not be used every day.

Avoid tight clothing

Clothing that is too tight can easily cause poor blood circulation, high temperature and humidity in the private parts, which can easily breed bacteria and cause some vaginal inflammation.

Choose underwear

Choosing the right underwear plays an important role in protecting women's private parts.

1. Pure cotton material, avoid using chemical fiber fabrics;

2. It is best to choose light colors such as white and beige to avoid color risks;

3. Don’t choose clothes that are too tight, just choose clothes that fit you comfortably.
