There is a sour odor in the lower body

Women will experience menstruation, leucorrhea, ovulation, etc. in every physiological cycle, so there will be secretions flowing out of the lower body. You need to pay attention to strengthening hygiene and keep your underwear dry and clean. Normal leucorrhea has no odor, but some women feel distressed when they have a sour odor in their genitals, wondering if they are sick. In fact, in this case, we need to consider the presence of vaginitis, and the results can be obtained through leucorrhea testing.

1. What is the reason for the sour odor in the lower body?

According to the description, it should be a manifestation of mild vaginal and vulvar inflammation. Vaginitis is often manifested by vulvar itching, excessive vaginal discharge, and a foul odor. Common vaginitis includes Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis. It is recommended to test the leucorrhea to determine the type of vaginal inflammation, and then adopt different treatments according to the different types of vaginitis.

2. What foods should not be eaten for vaginitis

1. Avoid spicy food. Eating too much spicy food (chili pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc.) can easily cause dryness and heat, which can cause heat and toxicity to accumulate in the internal organs, resulting in symptoms such as swollen and painful gums, mouth sores, short and red urine, burning sensation in the anus, itching and pain in the front and back of the vulva, thus aggravating the symptoms of this disease.

2. Avoid seafood that may cause irritation. Fishy foods, such as mandarin fish, yellow croaker, hairtail, black fish, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products can promote damp heat, aggravate vulva itching after eating, and are not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation, so they should be avoided.

3. Avoid sweet and greasy food. Greasy foods such as lard, fatty pork, cream, butter, mutton fat, etc., and high-sugar foods such as chocolate, candy, and desserts, etc., these foods help to increase moisture and heat, which will increase the secretion of leucorrhea and affect the treatment effect.

4. Avoid smoking and drinking. Smoking can make the disease worse, because the nicotine in tobacco can weaken the binding force between arterial blood and oxygen. Alcohol can promote dampness and heat, so it should be avoided. Similarly, foods containing alcohol, such as fermented rice wine, medicinal wine, etc., should not be consumed.

5. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. It is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to keep bowel movements smooth; it is advisable to drink more water to prevent urinary tract infections.
