Why does the vagina always have an odor?

There is always an odor in the vagina, which many female friends cannot understand because they don’t know what causes it. The presence of vaginal odor may be related to gynecological diseases such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, cervical erosion, etc. Therefore, female friends who have suspected symptoms are advised to undergo relevant examinations in a timely manner and actively receive treatment.

What causes vaginal odor?

(1) Beware of cervical polyps

Cervical polyps are a symptom of chronic cervicitis. They are mainly caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, which leads to local hyperplasia of the cervical mucosal tissue. The hyperplastic mucosal tissue will gradually protrude toward the external os of the cervix, thus forming a polyp. When a woman develops cervical polyps, she may also experience many abnormal conditions such as vaginal odor, yellow leucorrhea, and bloody leucorrhea.

(2) Beware of acute vaginitis

After the onset of acute vaginitis, the most typical and common symptom is the increase in vaginal discharge. In addition, there will be yellow watery or purulent vaginal discharge, and the vaginal discharge will have a distinct odor. If the infection is severe, irregular vaginal bleeding may also occur, which shows the great harm to women's health. But many times female friends do not take this as a warning. Instead, they think they are strong and do not care about it. They always think that if they hold on, they may get better. In the end, people often lose their health because of such "luck".

(3) Beware of cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is also a common cause of leucorrhea odor in women. In addition, patients may also suffer from vulvar itching, bleeding during sexual intercourse, lumbar pain, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and many other health damages. Active treatment is necessary to avoid greater risks of damage. When any abnormal situation occurs, do not hesitate and go to a regular gynecological hospital for examination in time.

(4) Beware of malignant tumors

For elderly women, if there is foul-smelling leucorrhea and obvious symptoms of irregular vaginal bleeding, it often means the presence of a malignant tumor; in addition, if a woman has a serious reproductive tract infection, severe endometritis, etc., it may cause the vagina to have an odor. It is recommended that female friends go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time if any abnormalities occur.

The above is the introduction about vaginal odor. Obviously, there are many reasons why women have vaginal odor. Do not use medication at will before diagnosis. You must go to a regular gynecological hospital for examination and diagnosis, and then receive targeted treatment with a systematic and scientific treatment plan to help the body gradually return to a healthy state. Never recklessly think that your body is strong enough to resist the occurrence of these abnormal diseases. Many times, dangers occur inadvertently and "take away" our health.
