Why do women have a bad smell down there?

I think everyone knows that normal female vaginal secretions are colorless and odorless, and the secretions themselves have a protective effect on the body. However, once you find an odor down there, it means that there is something abnormal in your body. So what is going on when women have an odor down there? What disease does it indicate, and how can it be solved? Let me talk to you about this knowledge.

A woman's vulva will emit some unique odors, which are related to some secretions from the vagina and vulva. Under normal circumstances, the fluids secreted by the vagina and vulva prevent bacterial invasion and maintain local lubrication; when there are reproductive system diseases, especially inflammatory diseases, a certain amount of inflammatory secretions will be secreted. The former is physiological and the latter is pathological.

Pathological (inflammatory) secretions often have a "putrid smell", and the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly, the color is dirty yellow, and sometimes even pus and blood. Most are infections caused by various microorganisms, including Trichomonas, fungi, and various bacteria.

Physiological secretions are mostly colorless or very light yellow, thinner, and have a certain relationship with the menstrual cycle. The most important thing is that this secretion is slightly acidic and has a special sour taste, such as the special "stinky" smell described in ancient novels as "like orchid but not orchid, like musk but not musk". In fact, this smell is unique to women. Most people are accustomed to it and cannot distinguish it. You can tell your classmate to ask his relatives and friends. They will definitely not smell this so-called "smell". From the perspective of the male-female relationship of organisms, this special "smell" may also have a good effect in attracting the opposite sex. Knowing this, you will be at ease.

Some people may ask why they can only smell their own body odor but not others? In addition to the difference in distance, the main reason is that they are in a state of self-olfactory hypersensitivity. The more suspicious they are, the more they feel the presence of the "stink". If you can eliminate this psychological barrier and face it calmly, this self-smell allergy will naturally alleviate or even disappear.

If a woman has an odor in her lower body, it is usually due to vaginitis. Doctors recommend a routine check of leucorrhea. After the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be given. Don't take medication blindly on your own. Because the types of vaginitis are different, the drugs used are different.

After discovering the problem of odor in the lower body, women should also pay more attention to the following in their daily lives: underwear should not be washed at the same time as insoles and socks. It is best to use a separate washing container for underwear. After washing, it is best to expose the underwear to the sun. It is best for couples to receive treatment at the same time to avoid repeated infection between the couples during sexual intercourse, which may cause the disease to linger. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

The above content is some introduction to the problem of why women have odor from their lower body. I hope that after seeing this knowledge, everyone can pay more attention to their bodies. If you find an abnormal odor from your lower body, you must pay attention to it. It is best to go to the hospital for a secretion test so that the cause can be discovered early, treatment can be started early, and recovery can be speedy.
