What causes vaginal dampness and odor?

Summer is here, and many women feel that their private parts are particularly moist, and sometimes even have some odor. Some women feel very worried and afraid that they might have some gynecological diseases. This situation may indeed be a gynecological disease. Let me explain to you why.

Vaginitis is mainly caused by personal hygiene and mutual infection. Abnormal leucorrhea caused by vaginitis is usually accompanied by itching of the vulva and vagina and a foul odor. In daily life, if female friends do not pay attention to personal hygiene and suffer from some gynecological diseases, they will have symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea, vulvar itching, and vaginal odor.

Causes of vaginal odor. Leucorrhea is a general term for vaginal secretions, which are fluids discharged and exuded from the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina. Its main components are exudates from the vaginal epithelium, secretions from the endometrium and cervical glands, secretions from the fallopian tube endometrial epithelium, as well as exfoliated epithelial cells and a small amount of white blood cells and microorganisms. In a normal vagina, there may be a small amount of white, paste-like, odorless or slightly fishy leucorrhea. Normally, the amount of estrogen varies with age and menstrual cycle. In adulthood, during the middle of the menstrual cycle, close to ovulation, estrogen levels reach a peak, at which time the amount of leucorrhea is the largest, and it is clear, transparent and thin, like egg white. Thereafter, estrogen levels gradually decrease, and the leucorrhea becomes turbid, sticky and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, the amount of leucorrhea may increase slightly. During pregnancy, due to high estrogen levels, leucorrhea often increases. However, under pathological conditions, the amount and properties of leucorrhea will change. Women can observe the changes in leucorrhea and seek timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent problems before they occur.

Girls are more fragile and prone to various gynecological diseases at various times, especially the uterus and vagina, so they should pay more attention to their personal hygiene. After listening to the editor's explanation, they should pay attention to the usual care of their private parts and pay attention to their sexual habits. If you feel that something is wrong, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
