What should I do if my vaginal discharge has a strange smell?

Secretion is a friend that women are more familiar with. It is not only a natural barrier for women to prevent the invasion of pathogens, but also a "mirror" of female reproductive health, reflecting the "dangerous enemies" of the body and reminding people to enter a state of combat alert - abnormal leucorrhea is the best alarm.

What is the reason for the odor of vaginal discharge

Gradually, as the vagina matures, a woman's vagina will secrete some substances, including vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal endometrium, uterine wall, and bilateral fallopian tube gland secretions. These substances are mixed to form a layer of sticky secretions on the inner front. If the leucorrhea is normal, it also indicates that the woman's body is healthy and it can also self-clean.

So what if the leucorrhea is abnormal? What is the reason?

Abnormal leucorrhea may be caused by the invasion of some bacteria into the vagina, causing the originally odorless or smellless discharge to become more and more foul. If you encounter this kind of situation, ladies should be fully prepared. This may be due to bacteria infecting the vagina, and you should go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately.

If the discharge has a fishy smell, it may be vaginitis, which is often caused by Haemophilus influenzae in the vagina. In addition, there will be symptoms such as burning sensation, pain, itching in the vagina and moisture in the vulva.

If the discharge has a fishy smell, it may be caused by infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or it may be a candidal infection, or vaginitis caused by infection with Haemophilus influenzae in the vagina.

In more serious cases, the discharge may have a foul odor. This type of condition is very complicated and is usually caused by a serious infection of the reproductive system or a tumor, such as severe endometritis, moderate to severe cervical erosion, etc.

What should I do if my vaginal discharge has a strong odor?

When the secretions have the odors mentioned above, ladies should rush to the hospital for examination. If the abnormal leucorrhea is caused by bacterial infection, it is actually gynecological inflammation. We may not even want to look at or think about the keywords of gynecological inflammation. Although it is not the case today, we are still very resistant to it.

If the leucorrhea has a strong odor, that is, a fishy or even rotten smell, there is actually very little that women can do. They can only actively adopt medical treatment and strive for early recovery. In fact, leucorrhea with odor may also occur during pregnancy. Expectant mothers do not need to panic, but should seek medical treatment in time to ensure the safety of the fetus.

If you go to the hospital for a physical examination, the amount, color, shape, and smell of the secretions are usually observed to determine whether it is an inflammation. After the diagnosis, effective treatment methods are taken for the cause of the disease. So during the treatment period, women should keep their vagina clean and comfortable, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintain a good mood. The following aspects need to be ensured in daily life.

1. Use some mild formulas of cleansing products. The formulas of cleansing products for pregnant women are relatively mild. Do not use strong alkaline cleansing products to wash the vagina, as this will destroy the acid-base environment in the vagina.

2. Use soft, loose and wide underwear, cotton fabric underwear is stronger. Prevent tight pants.

3. Keep your private parts clean and comfortable, wear jeans less often, and try not to let your jeans rub against your private parts.
