What are the causes of abnormal vaginal discharge odor?

Patient's question:

Recently, my leukorrhea has been very yellow, and in the afternoon, there is a very unpleasant odor in my private area. This makes me feel very embarrassed. Please ask: What are the causes of the odor in leukorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, consider that you may have a vaginal infection. Conduct a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm which type of vaginal infection it is and then treat it accordingly. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Avoid scratching, washing with hot water, and using harsh soaps. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. If the condition does not improve, temporarily avoid sexual activity. A recurring odor poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
