Due to their different body structures from men, women need to pay more attention to their health issues. If you don't pay attention to your gynecological hygiene, you may experience some abnormal symptoms. Healthy women have their menstrual cycle, and the menstrual blood does not have any odor, but some women may have a strange smell in their menstrual blood. Why does menstrual blood have a putrid odor?
1. Inflammation
If there is an abnormal odor in menstrual blood during menstruation, it is likely due to severe inflammation in the gynecology department. For example, cervical inflammation, pelvic inflammation, endometrial inflammation, etc., it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated for a long time, it is likely to worsen into cancer, such as uterine cancer, cervical cancer, etc., which can have a foul odor of menstrual blood.
2. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene
During menstruation, women's reproductive system immunity is particularly low and they are easily infected with various bacteria. If menstrual sanitary pads are not replaced in a timely manner, there may also be a foul odor from menstrual blood. Be sure to change sanitary pads frequently, even if there is not much menstrual blood on them, they still need to be replaced. Especially in summer, not changing sanitary pads for several hours can not only cause discomfort, but also trigger gynecological inflammation.
In addition to changing sanitary pads frequently, it is also important to pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia. The hygiene of the external genitalia during menstruation is very important. There is menstrual blood contamination every day, and if not cleaned in time, residual menstrual blood on the surface of the skin can also produce an odor. Taking a shower before going to bed at night can alleviate this condition.
