Why does a woman have a strange smell in her vagina?

The health of women's private parts is particularly important. When the vagina starts to have an odor, you can smell it after taking off your pants. Both your underwear and trousers will emit this unpleasant odor. What happens when it occurs even after taking a shower and is accompanied by other symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea?

【Cause Analysis】

Because the female vulva is more likely to adhere to and accumulate vaginal secretions, sweat and sebum, after bacterial fermentation, it will emit an unpleasant odor. If your vaginal discharge appears normal, it may just be caused by hot weather or wearing tight underwear.

But as long as the leucorrhea is abnormal, there must be inflammation. However, to know which type it is, you need to go to the hospital for routine leucorrhea tests. If the leucorrhea is yellow or there is yellow liquid flowing out of the vagina, it belongs to the yellow discharge type of women's five genitals. The possible reasons and manifestations of increased and yellow leucorrhea are:

(1) When suffering from candidal vaginitis, the leucorrhea is yellow or white, and most of the time it is thick, but sometimes it can be thin. The typical leucorrhea is like tofu dregs or curds;

(2) The vaginal discharge of trichomoniasis is pus-like, yellow, and foamy, or like rice water, grayish white, and has a foul odor.

(3) In cases of cervical erosion, the vaginal discharge is usually yellow, sticky like mucus, and odorless.

(4) The leucorrhea of ​​gonorrhea is yellow pus-like;

(5) When suffering from pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, leucorrhea will increase, become yellow in color, and thin in texture, often accompanied by abdominal pain;

(6) Amebic vaginitis is relatively rare and is caused by amoeba. When amoeba trophozoites invade the vagina, they cause necrosis of vaginal epithelial cells through the activity of their pseudopodia and the secretion of histolytic enzymes, forming ulcers. As a result, bloody serous or yellow mucopurulent secretions are discharged from the vagina in large amounts, accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal and vulvar pain and vulvar itching. To treat this disease, you must first pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean, and prevent feces from continuing to contaminate the vulva and vagina.

Among common gynecological diseases, leucorrhea is the most common, followed by yellow discharge. Yellow discharge is not an abnormal condition of leucorrhea, but is mostly caused by inflammatory infection. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a vaginal discharge and leucorrhea test to confirm why the inflammation is caused so as to facilitate early treatment.
