Women, don't be shy, five symptoms of private parts indicate "big trouble"

A woman's private parts are not always peaceful. There will be some problems, such as oxygen emission, excessive vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, odor, etc. Some problems can be ignored, but some problems indicate physical illness, so you must not be careless.

1. Vaginal discharge

Normal female secretions are white, sticky and odorless, but pathological secretions are also very common: such as lumpy, yellow, bloody, and have an odor... These are all pathological secretions. Once discovered, you should seek medical attention immediately to find out the situation.

2. Unpleasant odor

If you typically experience a fishy or sour odor, this is a sign of bacterial vaginosis, an inflammation caused by an overgrowth of common bacteria in the vagina.

The unpleasant odor is especially severe during menstruation or after sex, and can also develop a strong odor if you use a tampon for more than eight hours. Therefore, be sure to follow the recommended time when using it.

3. Bleeding

Menopause or hormonal imbalances can cause unexpected uterine bleeding and tissue loss, as well as spotting. Light bleeding may also occur if you're using a birth control pill that doesn't match your body, and if you're using a placebo, it may cause the lining of your uterus to shed before your period.

But if you don't have this phenomenon normally, but it occurs during sex, it very likely indicates that there is a problem with your cervix.

Some common diseases can also cause vaginal bleeding: HPV infection, early cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease or ectopic pregnancy.

4. Itchy rash

If your vulva is red, swollen, and itchy, you may have vulvar dermatitis, an allergic reaction to anything from shower gel to synthetic underwear.

A rash could also be a sign of herpes, a contagious disease that usually starts with a tingling sensation and then breaks out into small red bumps or white blisters.

Genital herpes is also contagious, and the most direct way of transmission is through sexual intercourse. So, if you find that you or your partner has herpes, avoid having sex and see a doctor as soon as possible.

Another trigger for an itchy rash is vulvar lichen sclerosus, a rare skin problem that appears white over large areas of the vulva and anus.

The condition causes the skin in these areas to become thinner and more easily torn, sometimes leading to scarring. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. Left unchecked, vulvar lichen sclerosus can cause genital deformities, painful intercourse, and difficulty urinating.

5. Burning sensation

If you're urinating alarmingly often and it's painful, a bacterial urinary tract infection could be the culprit.

In rare cases, there are signs of vulvodynia with a burning sensation, a chronic pain that may be caused by an infection of the vulva (such as recurring yeast or candida infections), trauma (such as pelvic surgery that damages the nerves, causing them to feel lasting pain), or other problems.

This condition occurs in 1% of women, and it can cause pain not only during sex, but also when women are walking, using the bathroom, or even just resting.
