First of all, itching in the lower body may be due to abnormal leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slight fishy smell or no smell. When abnormal leucorrhea occurs, the situation will change. The main considerations are vaginitis and vulvitis. Itching and odor in the lower body may be caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection; this infection can easily cause an increase in leucorrhea, accompanied by a foul odor, and itching of the genitals.

Itching and odor in the lower body may be caused by infection with pathogens; using contaminated sanitary products can allow pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening, causing infection and increased vaginal discharge. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing increased vaginal discharge. Foreign objects have entered the reproductive organs; there are gauze, tampons, menstrual plugs, etc. in the vagina; some women have placed contraceptive devices because their uterus is not suitable for some reason, all of which will stimulate the reproductive organs and increase the amount of leucorrhea.

The main causes of vaginal odor are:

1. Fishy smell: Vaginitis caused by Haemophilus vaginalis usually has a special fishy smell in the leucorrhea, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and moisture in the vulva.

2. Foul odor: When the vagina or leucorrhea has a foul odor, it is often caused by severe infection or tumor of the reproductive tract. Common clinical diseases include severe endometritis, severe cervical erosion, malignant tumors of the reproductive tract, etc. Especially for elderly women, if the leucorrhea has a foul odor and is bright red in color, it is often a sign of a malignant tumor.

3. Fishy smell: If the vagina (leucorrhea) has a fishy smell, it is mainly considered to be vaginitis caused by some anaerobic bacteria infection, Trichomonas infection or Haemophilus vaginalis infection.
