What causes foul vaginal discharge?

The vagina is a female private part. It is a very important organ for women and the main channel for women to give birth and have sexual intercourse. Therefore, the health of the vagina is very important to the female body. The vagina is also a high-incidence area for female diseases. For example, what is the cause of smelly vaginal discharge? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Consider the possibility of vaginitis. It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid scratching, washing with hot water, and using soap. When there is an infection, use potassium permanganate solution for a sitz bath. The underwear should be breathable and loose, and avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea test to determine what kind of inflammation it is and then treat it symptomatically. You can take metronidazole tablets, Fuyankang tablets, and nystatin tablets under the guidance of a doctor and take them according to the instructions. If you have sexual intercourse, use Daktarin suppositories for vaginal treatment and pay attention to local hygiene.

2. Normal physiological leucorrhea is egg white-like or white and paste-like, with no itching or odor. If there is itching of the vulva and the leucorrhea has changes like tofu dregs, it is more likely to be candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination and then receive symptomatic treatment, which usually involves vaginal washing and medication based on the results of the routine leucorrhea examination.

3. Symptoms of candidal vaginitis and abnormal leucorrhea should be considered as caused by not paying attention to local hygiene. It is recommended to take fluconazole and apply nystatin vaginally, pay attention to personal hygiene, and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment.

4. Abnormal leucorrhea, perineal itching, and odor are likely to be vaginitis. A routine leucorrhea examination is needed to determine the nature of the vaginitis and then provide symptomatic treatment. There are many types of vaginitis, including bacterial, trichomonal and fungal, and the treatment methods for different types of vaginitis are different. It is recommended to use pH 4 weak acidic female care liquid to clean the vulva, change underwear frequently, and temporarily refrain from sexual intercourse and bathing in a tub after taking the medicine. For those with excessive mucus, 5% potassium dichromate and 20% to 40% silver nitrate can also be used. Or you can see a Chinese doctor and take some Chinese medicine for conditioning.
