What causes menstrual odor? Or related to vaginitis

The blood discharged during menstruation is a kind of "toxin", so menstruation has a cycle to discharge waste blood from the body at a regular interval. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Normal menstruation has no odor. Some girls will have embarrassing odor during menstruation. This should be taken seriously, as it may be vaginal inflammation! Why does menstruation have an odor?

Reasons for menstrual odor:

1. The secretions of the endometrium and sebaceous glands and the smell of sweat.

2. Vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

3. The smell of menstrual blood hidden between the pubic hair.

4. When using contaminated sanitary napkins, the bottom film of the sanitary napkin is not breathable, and the menstrual blood discharged will breed 10 trillion bacteria in 4 minutes, which will naturally emit a bad smell.

Solution:

1. If conditions permit, rinse the perineum with warm water after each use of the toilet to keep it clean.

2. Change sanitary napkins in time, preferably every 2 hours.

3. Do not use scented or medicated sanitary napkins. Secondly, cool sanitary napkins can cause uterine cold. It is best to use 100% pure cotton, sterile and breathable sanitary napkins, which can reduce the incidence of a large number of gynecological diseases.

4. If your menstrual blood still has an odor after using a 100% cotton sanitary napkin, it is recommended that you go for a check-up after your period is over.
