Is it normal for girls to have a smell down there?

Although there is sexual freedom now and people are becoming more and more open-minded, there is a lack of sex education. Many people have problems of their own but find it difficult to ask others about them, and they have no channels to get information. For example, girls may not know whether it is normal for their private parts to have a smell, which leads to them being afraid of being smelled by others and not daring to communicate with others. This will cause girls to feel inferior when interacting with others. So is it normal for girls to have a smell down there?

A woman's vulva will emit some unique odors, which are related to some secretions from the vagina and vulva. Under normal circumstances, the fluids secreted by the vagina and vulva prevent bacterial invasion and maintain local lubrication; when there are reproductive system diseases, especially inflammatory diseases, a certain amount of inflammatory secretions will be secreted. The former is physiological and the latter is pathological.

Pathological (inflammatory) secretions often have a foul odor, and the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly, and the color is dirty yellow, and sometimes even pus and blood. Most are infections caused by various microorganisms, including Trichomonas, fungi, and various bacteria.

Physiological secretions are mostly colorless or very light yellow, thinner, and have a certain relationship with the menstrual cycle. The most important thing is that this secretion is slightly acidic and has a special sour taste, such as the special stench described in ancient novels that is like orchid but not orchid, and like musk but not musk.

In fact, this smell is unique to women. Most people are accustomed to it and cannot distinguish it. You may want to ask your relatives and friends around you. They will definitely not be able to smell this so-called odor. From the perspective of the male-female relationship of organisms, this special odor may also have a good effect in attracting the opposite sex. Knowing this, you will be at ease.

Some people may ask, why can I only smell my own body odor, but not others? In addition to the difference in distance, the main reason is that I am in a state of self-olfactory hypersensitivity. The more suspicious I am, the more I feel the presence of the odor. If you can eliminate this psychological barrier and face it calmly, this self-smell allergy will naturally alleviate or even disappear.

If a woman has an odor in her lower body, it is usually due to vaginitis. Doctors recommend a routine check of leucorrhea. After the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be given. Don't take medication blindly on your own. Because the types of vaginitis are different, the drugs used are different.

After discovering the problem of odor in the lower body, women should also pay more attention to the following in their daily lives: underwear should not be washed at the same time as insoles and socks. It is best to use a separate washing container for underwear. After washing, it is best to expose the underwear to the sun. It is best for couples to receive treatment at the same time to avoid repeated infection between the couples due to sexual intercourse, which may cause the disease to linger. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.
