Symptoms of fishy leucorrhea

Normal leucorrhea is white, paste-like or transparent, egg white-like, elastic and has no odor. If the leucorrhea is abnormal and accompanied by a fishy smell, it may cause gynecological diseases, which are common in bacterial vaginitis. Such diseases often cause vulvar itching. It needs our attention. So, what are the symptoms of fishy odor in leucorrhea? Let us find out through the following.

Fishy leucorrhea is a disease with leucorrhea odor. Usually, fishy leucorrhea is partly due to vaginitis, which is caused by Haemophilus vaginalis. The leucorrhea has a special fishy odor. In addition, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal pain, itching, burning, and vulvar moisture.

Leucorrhea with a fishy smell is common in bacterial vaginosis, also known as nonspecific vaginitis. This disease is caused by a mixed infection of Gardnerella vaginalis and some hypoxic bacteria. It can be transmitted through sexual contact and has a higher incidence among people with promiscuous sexual relations. The prominent clinical manifestation is increased vaginal secretions and a fishy smell. This is because of the special smell that the secretions give off. Whenever sexual intercourse or activity occurs, the release of odor is promoted, and the odor is particularly obvious. Because there are a large number of amines in the vagina, the pH of vaginal secretions also increases. When a speculum is used for vaginal examination, it is found that the secretions in the vagina increase, are grayish white, and very sticky, but the inflammation of the vaginal wall is not obvious.

If a woman's leucorrhea has a fishy smell, it is caused by bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a disease caused by the massive multiplication of multiple pathogenic bacteria in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis mainly leads to the imbalance of the vaginal ecological balance, putting the vagina in a pathological state.

I believe that after reading the introduction above, you already know the symptoms of leucorrhea with a fishy odor. If you have the symptoms described above, please seek medical attention immediately, because fishy odor in female leucorrhea is mostly caused by vaginitis. Therefore, female patients must seek timely treatment and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. I believe they will recover soon.
