During a woman's menstrual period, there will always be a few days of physical discomfort, but generally, as the period ends, some of the discomfort symptoms will gradually disappear. However, some women may experience some abnormal conditions after their menstrual period is over, such as itching and excessive odor. So why do some women have an odor and itching every time their menstrual period is over?
When a woman experiences itching and a noticeable odor in the external genitalia after her menstrual period, it is possible that she has gynecological inflammation, which is commonly caused by vaginitis. Common causes of vaginitis include endogenous and exogenous infections.
Exogenous infection often refers to sexually transmitted diseases or the use of substandard sanitary pads, as well as inadequate local cleaning and care, which can trigger infection. Therefore, it is also important to pay attention to whether there are any unhealthy habits or other factors in daily life that may cause external vaginal infections, and to take preventive measures.
Endogenous infections include bacterial vaginitis, mycoplasma vaginitis, as well as fungal vaginitis or trichomonas vaginitis, and different drugs should be used for treatment according to different inflammations. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge testing for diagnosis and treatment. The time to go to the hospital for examination should be within 3-5 days after the end of menstruation. Before the examination, local cleaning and hygiene care should be done, and sexual intercourse should be avoided to avoid affecting the accuracy of the examination and laboratory results.
