What diseases can cause vaginal odor?

Patient's question:

When it was the time, the vaginal itching was particularly severe. Every day, using salt water to wash and changing underwear could not reduce it. The leukorrhea was like bean curd. Because I was pregnant, I dared not to take medicine. This symptom persisted until I gave birth to the baby. After a caesarean section, this symptom disappeared. Now, it's just heavy odor and heavy-colored discharge.

Doctor's answer:

Candida vulvovaginitis. Candida vulvovaginitis primarily manifests as external genital itching, burning pain, and in severe cases, restlessness and extreme distress, often accompanied by urinary frequency, urgency, and dyspareunia. The characteristics of vaginal discharge are white, thick, and resemble curd or bean curd. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination, including routine vaginal discharge tests, and to receive anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment.
Lifestyle care: Maintain a positive mood, reduce psychological stress, actively cooperate with treatment, keep the external genital area clean and hygienic, and change underwear frequently. Avoid tub baths.
