What are the symptoms of postpartum vaginitis?

If a mother has vaginal problems after childbirth, they must be discovered and treated in a timely manner to avoid excessive damage to the vagina. Generally, postpartum vaginitis will have more obvious symptoms, such as thicker secretions, a strong fishy smell, vulvar itching, etc. As long as there are abnormalities in the vagina, the cause must be promptly investigated and actively treated.

Symptoms of postpartum vaginitis

After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth, although the excitement of being a mother for the first time is beyond words, the mother's resistance is often very low at this time and she may suffer from various diseases. Vaginitis is a very common disease. So what are the symptoms of postpartum vaginitis?

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, very sticky, even like paste, and uniform, but it is not purulent, and the amount is uncertain.

2. The secretion has a particularly high amine content, so it has a fishy smell. During sexual intercourse or after activity, the smell is often aggravated due to the release of amines. Adding 10% potassium hydroxide to the secretion can also release the amine smell.

3. Vaginal discharge may be obviously purulent, and urinary tract irritation symptoms such as urinary pain and dysuria may occur.

4. When combined with Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may occur, and the itching may intensify and become extremely itchy.

5. The symptoms are a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin and homogeneous or thin and pasty, grayish white, grayish yellow or milky yellow, and have a special fishy odor.
