There is a strange smell during ovulation

The ovulation period is when endocrine secretion is the highest. During this stage, some sticky liquid will often flow out of the vagina. If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause odor in the lower half of the body. In this case, inflammation and bacterial infection should be considered. You need to go to the hospital for examination first, and use a wash solution for treatment if necessary.

Is it normal to have an odor during ovulation?

The odor during ovulation should refer to the leucorrhea having an odor. When a woman's leucorrhea secretion changes in quantity, color, properties, odor, etc., and at the same time there are symptoms such as low back pain, abdominal pain, and vulvar itching, it indicates that the leucorrhea is abnormal. It is likely that there is inflammation of the reproductive organs or urinary system. Abnormal leucorrhea is common in the following situations.

1. Non-inflammatory leucorrhea

(1) Leucorrhea is sticky and profuse, and is seen after taking estrogen drugs.

(2) Women of childbearing age have too little vaginal discharge, which makes it impossible to meet their physiological needs. Women often feel dryness and discomfort in the vulva. This is often caused by ovarian dysfunction and insufficient secretion of sex hormones, and is also a pathological condition.

(3) Mental stimulation increases the secretions of the vulva, vagina and cervix, which become colorless and transparent.

(4) Leucorrhea is milky white and watery, and may occur in patients with pelvic tumors, retroflexed uterus, and chronic systemic diseases (heart failure, diabetes, anemia, tuberculosis, etc.). This is caused by pelvic and uterine congestion and increased vaginal secretions.

2. Inflammatory leucorrhea

(1) Leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow, purulent, large in amount, and has a foul odor, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

(2) Leucorrhea that is yellow or yellow-green, thin and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.
