​ Why does the secretion smell sour?

Women always have some secretions, but each type of secretion is very different not only in color but also in other aspects. Some women's secretions will taste sour, which indicates other problems, and more often it shows the physical condition. So why does the secretion taste sour? Let me tell you below.

The sour smell of secretions is mostly caused by some kind of gynecological inflammatory infection, such as common vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

Normal leucorrhea is a small amount of white, slightly sticky secretion. The amount varies in different periods of the menstruation. Generally, there is more leucorrhea during the ovulation period. At this time, the leucorrhea is transparent and has long strings, a bit like snot. There is also more leucorrhea during the menstrual period.

Abnormal leucorrhea such as sour leucorrhea and leucorrhea bleeding are all caused by the fact that many women do not follow the doctor's advice within two weeks after abortion and have sexual intercourse, which often leads to cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease caused by pathological changes of chronic cervicitis. The symptoms are purulent and sour leucorrhea.

Commonly, there are several types of abnormal secretions:

1. Watery leucorrhea

If the discharge is large and watery, endometrial cancer or fallopian tube cancer should be considered first. If abnormal leucorrhea is seen, the medical history should be obtained in detail, and the leucorrhea should be checked for the presence of Trichomonas or fungi. The cervix, uterus and pelvic cavity should be carefully examined, and a cervical smear, biopsy or diagnostic curettage should be performed if necessary. After the cause is identified, appropriate treatment should be given.

2. Bloody leucorrhea

If there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should be alert to cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. Cervical polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, senile vaginitis, and IUD insertion can also cause it.

Therefore, every woman should always pay attention to her secretions and not lose the best time for treatment because of carelessness. These are important factors that affect women's normal health and may also cause other diseases. Don't be careless. The editor thinks that women should be responsible for their own bodies and improve this phenomenon in time.
