What to do if gynecological leucorrhea has a strong odor

The incidence of gynecological diseases is becoming higher and higher. Even many female friends have some vaginal diseases, but the symptoms of some patients are not so obvious. They just occasionally feel that their leucorrhea has a strong odor, which does not affect their lives. It is precisely because of this that many female friends do not pay attention to this problem, which causes the problem to become more and more serious, and even other diseases will occur.

What should I do if my gynecological vaginal discharge has a strong odor?

First, women's leucorrhea normally has no odor, but if there is a serious odor, it is very likely that you have a gynecological disease. For example, vaginitis, cervicitis, candidal vaginitis and other diseases will cause the leucorrhea to have an odor. According to your own condition, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination in time to see what disease caused it. It is important to take targeted treatment measures.

Second, if it is accompanied by a fishy smell, it may be vaginitis caused by some anaerobic bacteria infection, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection. If your vaginal discharge is accompanied by a foul odor, it is often caused by a serious infection or tumor in the reproductive tract. Regardless of the condition, women should go to the hospital to see a doctor as soon as possible. Taking measures to improve the disease condition is the key.

Third, it is best to wash women's underwear by hand, and never wash it in a washing machine, because there are often various pathogenic bacteria in the washing machine. The more times it is used, the more mold there is. In life, women should develop the good habit of washing underwear by hand, and the washing machine tub should be cleaned with hot water every once in a while. And you should wash your clothes regularly with disinfectant!

Finally, women should wear cotton underwear in their daily life and avoid wearing underwear made of chemical fibers, which not only breeds bacteria but also causes discomfort. In addition, women can use vaginal cleansers regularly to help clean their vaginas to prevent bacteria or viruses from multiplying in them, which can pose certain risks to their health. If they have time, women should exercise more, as strengthening immunity is the fundamental way to prevent disease.

The main reasons for leucorrhea odor are:

1. Leucorrhea has a fishy smell: This symptom is mostly caused by vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, which makes the secreted leucorrhea have a special fishy smell. Fishy odor of vaginal discharge is a typical symptom of bacterial vaginosis in women. Bacterial vaginosis refers to a disease caused by the massive reproduction of multiple pathogenic bacteria in the vagina, which mainly leads to vaginal ecological imbalance, thus putting the vagina in a pathological state. At the same time, the fishy smell of leucorrhea is also accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulvar moisture.

2. Leucorrhea has a fishy smell: If the vaginitis is caused by anaerobic bacteria infection, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection, in this case the leucorrhea is often accompanied by a fishy smell.

After completing the first course of treatment, you can go to the hospital to check the Trichomonas situation. If it is not completely killed, use another course of treatment to make sure that the Trichomonas is killed. Otherwise, you will need to prevent repeated infection in the future.

3. Foul-smelling leucorrhea: Foul-smelling leucorrhea is often caused by severe reproductive tract infection or tumors, such as cervical erosion, malignant tumors, endometritis, etc. Especially for elderly women, if the vaginal discharge has a foul odor and is bright red in color, it is often a sign of a malignant tumor.
