Causes of leucorrhea odor

There are many reasons for the odor of leucorrhea, and finding the cause and treating the symptoms is the key. There are three common situations in which leucorrhea has an odor:

1. Fishy smell: Some cases of vaginitis are caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, and the leucorrhea has a special fishy smell. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulva moisture.

2. Foul odor: If the leucorrhea has a foul odor, it is often caused by a serious infection or tumor in the reproductive tract. Such as malignant tumors of the reproductive tract, severe endometritis, and severe cervical erosion.

3. Fishy smell: In some cases of vaginitis caused by anaerobic bacteria, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection, the leucorrhea is often accompanied by a fishy smell.

Regarding the symptom of abnormal leucorrhea with odor, the following treatment measures can be taken.

1. General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that may cause vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors; keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching; prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment; avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.

2. Change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina: The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solution to flush the vulva and vagina can change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, which will inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. You can use 2% to 4% baking soda water to flush the vagina 1 to 2 times a day, and one course of treatment is 2 weeks. After flushing, wipe the vulva dry and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.
