What causes menstrual odor?

If you find that your menstrual blood has a strong odor during your period, it is often caused by inflammation of the uterine wall or pelvic inflammation. It is recommended to do a B-ultrasound examination after the menstrual period is over to understand whether there are abnormal echoes in the uterine wall or whether the echoes are uneven. If necessary, a diagnostic curettage can be performed 6 to 12 hours after the onset of menstruation, and the patient can be sent for pathological examination, and clinical treatment can be given based on the results.

In addition, clinically, inflammation of the vagina can also cause a strong odor during menstruation, and there will also be a bad odor after the menstrual period. The most common cause is bacterial infection of the vagina, so it is also recommended to do routine leucorrhea examinations. According to the infected bacteria, clinical medicine will give corresponding medication treatment. In addition, it is also recommended that women undergo cervical cancer screening once a year.

If women have a strong odor during menstruation, it is probably due to the fishy smell of menstruation. This is normal and there is no need to worry too much. If there are other odors besides the fishy smell, it should be considered that it is a bacterial or viral attack and there is a possibility of infection. It is recommended that women go to a reliable hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination after menstruation, and then take symptomatic medication. Women should change sanitary napkins frequently during their menstrual period, clean them with running water, keep the vagina dry and clean, and pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times.

Normal menstrual blood is dark red in color, has a slight fishy smell, and no odor. If the odor is heavy, it is considered that there was inflammation in the vagina before the menstrual period, and the odor will appear when vaginal bleeding mixed with inflammatory secretions will flow out after the menstrual period. Therefore, in this situation, you should pay attention to the hygiene system during the menstrual period, change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, drink plenty of water, keep the private parts clean and dry, and you can use red core wash liquid to clean the vulva and rinse the vagina. After the menstrual period is over, do routine examination of leucorrhea and apply vaginal medication for treatment.
