Why does the female genitals have an odor?

Regarding the situation where women have an odor in their genitals, everyone should understand that this is caused by vaginitis. As we all know, the main symptom of vaginal inflammation is abnormal vaginal discharge. Normal vaginal discharge should be colorless and odorless, but if vaginal inflammation occurs, then the vaginal discharge may emit a fishy or smelly smell. Female friends should always pay attention to their physical health, and once there is an odor, they should seek medical treatment in time.

The odor in a woman's private parts should be emitted by the leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea should be slightly fishy or odorless, and milky white or colorless and transparent. If a woman's private parts always have an odor, it is also called vaginal odor. This is an abnormal phenomenon and is usually a reflection of gynecological diseases. Women should not take it lightly. Experts believe that when a woman's leucorrhea always emits an odor, she needs to judge the following possibilities based on the different odors:

The vaginal discharge of patients with vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis often has a special fishy smell. Patients also experience symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulvar wetness. Some patients with vaginitis caused by anaerobic bacteria infection, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection often have a fishy odor in their leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea emits a foul odor, women must be more vigilant, because this may be related to serious infection or tumor of the reproductive tract. Malignant tumors of the reproductive tract, severe endometritis, and severe cervical erosion can all cause foul-smelling leucorrhea. If elderly women have foul-smelling leucorrhea that is bright red in color, this is often a sign of a malignant tumor.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the odor in the female genitals. According to the different smells, we can judge what kind of inflammation the female genitals have, and we can take targeted medication for treatment. When the female body emits an odor, do not take it lightly. You should do relevant routine leucorrhea examinations as soon as possible, and conduct correct diagnosis and treatment after confirming the condition.
