What's wrong with the vagina having a strange smell?

I would like to ask everyone a question here, especially female friends, have you ever encountered a situation where your vagina has an unpleasant odor? Once this situation occurs, it means that some reproductive tract problems of our female friends are abnormal. When you encounter this situation, you must not ignore it, and don’t feel embarrassed to leave it alone. You must do a comprehensive self-examination. So today we will talk about what is going on with the odor in the vagina?

1 Trichomonas vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis, and is transmitted through sexual intercourse or indirectly (through bathtubs, tubs, swimming pools, clothing, dressings and contaminated equipment, etc.). The main symptoms are vulvar itching, increased leucorrhea, which is light yellow and foamy. In severe cases, the leucorrhea may be mixed with blood. There is also a burning sensation and pain during sexual intercourse. When accompanied by a urethral infection, there may be frequent urination, painful urination, and even hematuria.

Medication method: Treatment usually includes oral administration of metronidazole and placement of metronidazole suppository into the vagina. A course of treatment is 7-10 days for 3 consecutive months. The vulva can be rinsed with 1% lactic acid solution. The husband should also receive treatment at the same time and should abstain from sexual intercourse during treatment. In addition, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual intercourse and cross infection.

2. Fungal vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen Candida albicans, and often occurs in women who use hormones and antibiotics for a long time, diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of transmission are sexual intercourse, baths, bath towels, etc. The main symptoms are tofu-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

Medication method: You can take Diflucan 150 mg orally, Canesten vaginally, or use nystatin suppository into the vagina for treatment. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, change underwear frequently, and wash utensils with boiling water.

Here we have finished talking about the question of why the vagina has an odor. I believe that after reading it, you will have a clear understanding of this issue. It is recommended that our female friends must seek timely treatment after this situation occurs, and also take care of their bodies after treatment to prevent similar situations from happening again.
