A lot of vaginal discharge and a strange smell

Secretion is a liquid beneficial to the body that is discharged through the vagina from the female reproductive system. Healthy women all have leucorrhea. The secretions come from the cervix and vagina, and contain mucus from the cervix, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, epidermal cells that fall off the uterus and vagina, as well as a small amount of white blood cells and non-highly pathogenic vaginal bacilli. It maintains a certain humidity in the vagina, which is very beneficial for preventing the invasion of pathogens.

Under normal circumstances, the secretions have no obvious odor. Once there is obvious leucorrhea with an odor, it needs to be taken seriously.

The vaginal discharge has an odor and a fishy smell: Some vaginitis is caused by Haemophilus influenzae in the vagina, and the discharge has a unique fishy smell. In addition, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and vulva moisture.

The vaginal discharge has a fishy odor: In some cases of vaginitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, Candida infection or vaginal Haemophilus infection, the discharge often has a fishy odor.

Leucorrhea has an odor or a rancid smell: Foul-smelling discharge is often caused by a serious infection or tumor in the reproductive system. Such as malignant tumors of the reproductive system, relatively severe endometritis, and moderate to severe cervical erosion. Especially for middle-aged women, if there is a foul-smelling discharge and the color is bright red, it is often a sign of malignant tumor.

Therefore, when you find that your leucorrhea has an odor, you should first pay attention to whether it is a physiological change. If the changes in quantity and properties have exceeded the physiological range, especially in women at the age of menopause or menopause, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to find the root cause so as to deal with the symptoms in time and provide appropriate treatment. Do not seek to take medicine by yourself and delay the condition. The importance of solving the problem of leucorrhea with odor also depends on treating its initial symptoms.
