Why does a woman smell sour down there?

Every woman should prevent the occurrence of gynecological inflammation to ensure the health of the female reproductive system. If a woman suffers from gynecological inflammation, many abnormal reactions will occur in her lower body. In addition to the common redness, swelling and itching of the lower body, the presence of sour smell in women's lower body is also related to gynecological problems. Today let us take a look at the causes of sour odor in women’s genitals.

What causes sour vaginal odor?

(1) Gynecological inflammation

Gynecological inflammation occurs frequently in daily life, among which vaginitis is the most frequent. The phenomenon of sour smell in women's vagina is closely related to the onset of vaginitis. When a woman's body becomes diseased, not only will the leucorrhea have a slightly sour smell, but also observation with the naked eye can reveal that the texture of the leucorrhea can be sticky, thin, or like tofu dregs.

(2) Uterine lesions

Uterine lesions occur frequently in clinical practice, and women who suffer from long-term dysmenorrhea need to pay more attention to it, because it may be a dangerous signal sent by the disease to the body. When a woman develops uterine disease, in addition to the symptom of a sour vaginal odor, she may also notice a change in the color of her leucorrhea. This situation must be taken seriously in a timely manner, and she should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid greater damage.

(3) Adjacent organ damage

When women have gynecological inflammation problems, if they do not receive effective treatment in time, it is easy to increase the chances of lesions in the pelvis, vagina, uterus and other adjacent organs, among which fallopian tube disease is the most common. When a woman has lesions in adjacent organs, not only will the vagina have a sour odor, but she may also have watery leucorrhea, and the amount of leucorrhea will increase significantly.

The above is the introduction about the sour smell in the vagina. Obviously, there is not only one reason why the female vagina has a sour smell. I hope that female friends can take a responsible attitude towards their bodies and actively check and treat. Only in this way can they live a healthier and happier life.
