Is it normal to have a foul smell during vaginal discharge?

Under normal circumstances, women's leucorrhea is colorless and odorless. If the characteristics of women's leucorrhea change, it should be taken seriously, because this situation cannot be ruled out as being caused by some pathological factors. For example, some women's leucorrhea will have an odor, which may induce some diseases in the long run. Therefore, when abnormalities occur, it is necessary to pay attention to routine leucorrhea examinations. So is it normal for women’s leucorrhea to have a fishy smell?

1. If the leucorrhea has a fishy smell, you should first consider the possibility of vaginitis. The diagnosis of vaginitis requires routine testing of leucorrhea, because vaginitis is divided into three types: candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis. Diagnosis requires routine testing of leucorrhea. After the diagnosis is confirmed, symptomatic treatment can quickly cure the disease. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct timely routine testing of leucorrhea and not to treat it blindly. For example, the treatment for Trichomonas vaginitis is metronidazole anti-inflammatory treatment, but the treatment for candidal vaginitis is to stop using antibiotics, because antibiotics can induce or cause the aggravation of candidal vaginitis. Therefore, it is recommended to test leucorrhea in time and treat symptomatically after diagnosis.

2. If the leucorrhea has an odor, it is mainly caused by bacterial and Trichomonas infection vaginitis. Bacterial infection usually has no other symptoms except that the vaginal discharge has a strange smell, a fishy odor, and a grayish white discharge. The typical leucorrhea of ​​candidal vaginitis is in the form of tofu dregs or curds, accompanied by extreme itching of the vulva, and the leucorrhea has an unpleasant odor.

3. The leucorrhea is grayish yellow, foamy, and has a fishy smell, accompanied by vulvar itching, burning, pain and pain during sexual intercourse. It is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginitis. The leucorrhea is yellow and yellow-green and has a foul smell, like rice soup or pus. It is mostly caused by purulent bacterial infection, such as chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis and endometritis. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination 3 days after the menstruation is over, including abdominal B-ultrasound examination, routine leucorrhea tests, to identify the cause and symptomatic treatment.
