Patient's question:
I recently noticed a sour smell when I took off my pants while using the restroom. I'm not sure if this sour-smelling discharge is normal, so I came here to consult everyone. Could you please tell me what the normal discharge smells like?Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea is typically a white, thin, viscous substance with no odor. However, some scholars believe it may have a faint odor, though most women do not notice it due to their lack of sensitivity. A few women are more sensitive and can detect it. Nevertheless, women's lower bodies may also have abnormal odors, which are often reflected in the unusual changes of leukorrhea. Abnormal leukorrhea often indicates gynecological inflammation, so it is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a check-up. This will provide peace of mind, and it is also important to maintain good hygiene and prevent infections.
