Is it normal for girls to have genital odor?

The genitals of normal women usually have no odor, or the unique odor is normal. Due to infection by pathogenic bacteria, a fishy smell may occur and the secretions may be abnormal. People who are repeatedly infected may experience abdominal pain and other symptoms. If there are no other abnormalities, it is recommended to wash it with cold water and there is no need to take any medicine (especially antibiotics). Let’s discuss whether it is normal for girls to have genital odor?

Normally, the female vagina may have a strange smell. This is because the extracellular fluid of the private parts is in an acidic environment. Under normal circumstances, there are aerobic bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the private parts, which produce normal beneficial bacteria. When the ecological extracellular fluid is removed, the defense function against external pathogens will be reduced, resulting in various gynecological inflammations, such as candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, etc. Therefore, when the private parts have a fishy or fishy smell, or itching, swelling, pain, abnormal leucorrhea, etc., it is abnormal. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination immediately and take symptomatic treatment and medication.

If a woman has an abnormal odor from her vulva, it usually means she has vaginitis, and the discharge will be yellowish, strong, and increase in volume. It may also be accompanied by vulvar itching, so you should go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea test to see what type of vaginitis you have. Generally, vaginitis is divided into candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis and bacterial vaginal infection, etc. Vaginal medication is selected based on the results of examination. If there is only a simple strong odor and abnormal secretions, it is basically possible that it is a bacterial infection of the vagina. You can take ornidazole effervescent tablets or metronidazole gel.

In addition, pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts and wash the vulva once a day during the non-menstrual period. If you are in your menstrual period, you should clean it once in the morning, noon and evening. In addition, keep the vulva dry and change underwear frequently to avoid vaginitis.
