White discharge is a secretion from the female vagina, which plays a significant role in moistening the vagina and protecting the uterus. However, vaginal discharge is also a sign of women's health. If abnormal vaginal discharge occurs, it indicates that the female's physical condition is also problematic. What is the reason for the increase in vaginal discharge and the fishy smell?
Increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor is related to gynecological diseases, such as chronic cervicitis and endometritis, which may lead to increased vaginal discharge, appearing yellow and purulent, and may also be accompanied by abdominal pain. Trichomonas vaginitis can cause an increase in vaginal discharge, with a yellow or yellow green color, thin and foamy, and a fishy odor.
If there are blood streaks in the vaginal discharge, it is commonly seen in cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, severe chronic cervicitis, or side effects caused by intrauterine contraceptive devices. If the vaginal discharge turns yellow, viscous, like tofu residue, and has a fishy odor, it is mostly fungal vaginitis.
Normal vaginal discharge has no odor and is a transparent, slightly sticky secretion. If vaginal discharge is not a symptom of this type and changes in color, appearance, and quantity, it indicates that there is a problem with the vaginal discharge, which also means that the female body has a problem. In addition to gynecological inflammation, there are also some causes such as cervical lesions. In such cases, routine vaginal discharge examination and gynecological examination are needed to identify the cause. Remind female friends that once they discover problems with vaginal discharge, they should seek timely treatment to avoid worsening of the condition.
