There is a sour smell down there. What's going on?

Women should pay special attention to the health of their private parts, because their special physiological structure is easily affected by gynecological diseases. For example, some women will find that their private parts have sour or other odors. At this time, they should be vigilant, because if they are harmed by some diseases, it may cause abnormal leucorrhea, so we should have a scientific understanding and correct treatment.

1. Purulent leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky or foamy, and has a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation, among which Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching. It can also be seen in chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, mesometrial effusion or foreign bodies in the vagina.

2. Cheese-like leucorrhea or tofu-like leucorrhea is a typical phenomenon of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching.

3. Bloody leucorrhea, if there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, senile vaginitis, etc. can also cause bloody leucorrhea. Bloody leucorrhea caused by intrauterine contraceptive device is also more common.

4. Yellow watery leucorrhea often occurs after continuous vaginal bleeding. If a large amount of purulent and foul-smelling leucorrhea flows out of the vagina, advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer or submucosal fibroids with infection should be considered first. Those with paroxysmal discharge should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

5. Urinary dysfunction is accompanied by increased leucorrhea. In typical gonococcal infection, the leucorrhea is increased in amount, yellow and purulent, just like the urethral secretions, showing an intense inflammatory reaction. The leucorrhea caused by chlamydia in cervicitis is less viscous and has an increase in white serous cervical secretions.
