A healthy vagina usually has a certain odor, but this odor is not very strong or unpleasant, which is a normal situation.
What's wrong with a girl's bad smell in her private area?
1. Stinky odor: Vaginitis caused by anaerobic bacterial infection, trichomonas infection, or Haemophilus vaginalis infection, often accompanied by a fishy odor in vaginal discharge.
2. Fishy odor: Some vaginitis is caused by Haemophilus vaginalis, and vaginal discharge has a special fishy odor. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal burning, pain, itching, and external genital dampness.
3. Odor: If vaginal discharge has a foul odor, it is often caused by severe infections or tumors in the reproductive tract. Such as malignant tumors of the reproductive tract, severe endometritis, and severe cervical erosion. Especially for elderly women, if there is a foul odor of vaginal discharge and the color is bright red, it is often a signal of malignant tumors.
Why does it cause a peculiar smell in private areas?
1. Fishy odor and infection
If your private area emits a strong and unpleasant odor, it may be a sign of infection. For example, bacterial vaginitis, due to overgrowth of bacteria and subtle imbalance in vaginal pH, causes an increase in vaginal discharge and a strong fishy odor. An unpleasant odor and green vaginal discharge usually indicate trichomoniasis, so if you feel the odor is incorrect, trust your intuition and see a doctor.
2. Menstrual bleeding
If you often smell a smell like blood, there is usually nothing to panic about during this period. Under natural conditions, a healthy vagina will emit a mixed but normal odor during menstruation.
3. Eating heavy flavored food
The food you eat can also make your private parts smell different. Citrus fruits such as oranges, pineapples, and grapefruit can increase vaginal fluid and have a strong vaginal odor. On the other hand, onions, garlic, cauliflower, and asparagus can produce unpleasant odors and flavors.
What should I do if there is a foul smell in a girl's private area?
1. Don't use lotion indiscriminately, learn the correct way to clean the vagina
Many women blindly read shampoo advertisements without knowing what to do if there is a foul odor in their private parts. They believe that washing is healthier, but in fact, excessive cleaning can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the inner genitalia, causing excessive growth of harmful bacteria. Women may also suffer from candidal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis, as well as symptoms of foul odor. For this situation, it is recommended to wash the outer genitalia with warm water.
