What to do if your vaginal discharge is pink and smells bad

Leucorrhea is a white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. Leucorrhea is divided into physiological leucorrhea and pathological leucorrhea. Pathological leucorrhea is mostly caused by inflammation. Pink and smelly vaginal discharge is a type of pathological vaginal discharge, which can also cause certain psychological trauma to adolescent women. Let’s find out what to do if you have pink and smelly vaginal discharge?

Common pathological leucorrhea in clinical practice include: colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea, white or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea, curd-like leucorrhea, watery leucorrhea, etc. The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen. When the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak, the leucorrhea will be abundant and transparent. It will be sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads.

Under normal circumstances, vaginal lactobacilli are dominant in the vagina, with a small amount of anaerobic bacteria, mycoplasma and Candida albicans. These bacteria form a normal ecological balance. However, when the human body's immunity is low, endocrine hormones change, or external factors such as tissue damage and sexual intercourse disrupt the ecological balance of the vagina, these resident bacteria will become pathogenic bacteria, break through the vaginal barrier and cause infection. Therefore, the vulva should be washed with clean water every day. Avoid excessive cleaning and frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade washes, disinfected sanitary pads, etc., as these can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina.

Pay attention to care during pregnancy: During pregnancy, sex hormone levels, glycogen and acidity in the vagina will increase, making it easier to be invaded by fungi. For pregnant women, oral medications should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.

The above is the treatment method for pink and smelly vaginal discharge. Gynecological diseases must not be underestimated. Many gynecological diseases are caused by sexual life. Therefore, when choosing a sexual partner, you must make sure that they also pay attention to their daily hygiene and avoid causing bad consequences due to such reasons.
