Causes of fishy vaginal odor

Causes of fishy vaginal odor

Many married women suffer from gynecological diseases. Vaginal fishy odor is a common gynecological phenomenon. It not only affects the quality of their lives, but is also a bit embarrassing psychologically. And as a higher-level disease phenomenon, this time I will tell you about the reasons why women’s vagina has a fishy odor. I hope female friends don’t worry too much.

Nowadays, the pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, and women are facing more and more gynecological problems, which are becoming more and more serious. Due to busy work and family matters, most women do not have time to take good care of their private parts. Over time, private parts also bring a lot of troubles, which is the root cause of women's pain. Some young women have increased vaginal discharge, which often has a foul odor; after each sexual intercourse, the vagina also emits an unpleasant fishy odor. They are very anxious about this. What causes the body odor?

There is no denying that bacterial vaginosis is the culprit. Bacterial vaginosis refers to a disease caused by the massive reproduction of multiple pathogenic bacteria in the vagina. It mainly leads to the imbalance of the vaginal ecological balance, putting the vagina in a pathological state. The bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis are mainly Gardnerella vaginalis. Gardnerella is anaerobic and can grow easily in the vagina. The growth temperature of Gardnerella is 25-40℃, and the optimal temperature for reproduction in the human body is 35-37℃. At pH 4.5, Gardnerella is not easy to grow, and at pH 4.0 it does not grow, which is consistent with the acidic environment in the vagina of healthy women of reproductive age. Since vaginal lactobacilli in the vagina of adult women can break down the glycogen contained in the vaginal epithelial cells into lactic acid, keeping the vaginal secretions acidic (pH 4-5), and the acidic environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella, even if 60% of healthy women carry vaginal Gardnerella, there are no clinical symptoms.

Once the vaginal environment and acidity change, such as repeated vaginal douching or lack of private care, Gardnerella and certain anaerobic bacteria will multiply in large numbers. It is reported that when suffering from bacterial vaginosis, Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria are mixed in the patient's vagina, which increases 100-1000 times compared with the vagina of normal healthy women. After the couple has sex, the alkaline semen (pH 7.2-7.5) enters the vagina, further promoting the growth and reproduction of Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria, causing the release of a large amount of amines, which causes the vagina to emit a corrupt fishy smell.

Nowadays, the pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, and women are facing more and more serious gynecological problems. Due to busy work and family chores, most women do not have time to take good care of their private parts. Over time, the private parts also bring a lot of troubles, which is the root of women's pain; the rotten fishy smell of women's vagina is just one of the gynecological inflammations, which has made women embarrassed and painful. Therefore, the care and maintenance of women's private parts has become the most urgent thing to do. It is based on the importance of private care that more and more women have become more and more aware of maintenance and have begun to take the path of protecting the health of their private parts!

After reading this article, everyone has understood the reasons for these phenomena. I hope everyone can take good care of their bodies, so as to reduce the mental burden on themselves and their families. In daily life, we must pay more attention to dietary balance and do some appropriate physical exercise. Finally, I wish you all a speedy recovery.
