What causes fishy smell in vaginal discharge?

If female secretions have a strong fishy odor, the most common cause is bacterial vaginal infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, which is manifested by increased female secretions, yellow color, and relatively thin secretions with a strong fishy odor. It can be diagnosed through leucorrhea examination tests.

In addition, the fishy smell is also common in cervical cancer and uterine wall cancer, which can cause a strong fishy smell in female secretions. It is recommended to get checked in time, such as cervical cancer screening, and colposcopy if necessary. In addition, B-ultrasound examination is performed in combination with clinical medical records to understand the condition of the uterine wall. Diagnostic curettage can be performed when necessary. The final clinical diagnosis is based on pathological diagnosis. Women should keep their vulva clean in their daily lives and pay attention to the hygiene of their sexual environment. If they find excessive secretions, they should go to the hospital immediately for corresponding regular examinations and treatments.

If the secretion has a fishy smell, it may be caused by bacterial vaginal infection. Bacterial vaginal infection is a common trichomonas vaginitis caused by the imbalance of female vaginal intestinal flora, which can be diagnosed by leucorrhea examination. The clinical manifestation of bacterial vaginosis is an increase in female secretions that are thin, grayish white, and have a fishy odor. If bacterial vaginosis is confirmed through leucorrhea examination, it must be treated actively, because bacterial vaginosis may cause endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Generally, systemic medications can be used in combination with local medications for treatment. Common systemic medications are preferably anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa drugs, such as ornidazole, tinidazole, etc. Some of the drugs used can also use ornidazole for female vaginal use, and can also be used in combination with vaginal lactobacillus Chinese medicine preparations to repair the beneficial bacteria in the vagina.
