White discharge is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical secretions, and endometrial glandular secretions. Normal vaginal discharge in women is a paste like substance, mostly white in color, with a relatively small amount. If there is watery discharge, it is considered an abnormal manifestation. So, what is the situation when watery vaginal discharge has an odor?
1. Women with gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervical lesions, endometrial lesions, cervical cancer, and fallopian tube cancer can all cause watery vaginal discharge. For abnormal changes in vaginal discharge caused by unknown reasons, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and undergo relevant examinations, such as routine vaginal discharge and color Doppler ultrasound, to understand whether the cervical, uterine, and endometrial conditions are normal.
2. If women experience watery vaginal discharge accompanied by an odor, they should mainly consider fungal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis. These gynecological inflammations can also cause abnormal changes in vaginal discharge and abnormal increase in secretions. To address this, routine vaginal discharge examination should be conducted to determine the type of vaginitis and receive targeted treatment.
3. In addition, during the treatment period, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the genital area. The external genitalia should be cleaned with warm water every day, and underwear should be changed and disinfected with boiling water. If the sunlight is strong, it can be fully disinfected and sterilized by exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Medication should be taken according to the prescribed dosage and course of treatment as directed by the doctor, and necessary follow-up examinations should be conducted after the complete course of treatment.
