What causes a foul odor in female leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

I often have yellow leukorrhea with a foul odor, and the condition is sometimes better and sometimes worse. I had a vaginal ultrasound at the hospital, but the doctor told me that this condition is not serious and will improve with good personal hygiene and frequent cleaning of the vaginal area. However, I am still very concerned.
What kind of help do I need: What are the causes of foul-smelling leukorrhea in women?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is important to observe the amount, color, texture, odor, and accompanying symptoms of leukorrhea. If the leukorrhea is moderate in amount, milky white in color, like egg white in texture, with a slight fishy odor, but without any discomfort, it is considered normal leukorrhea. If the leukorrhea is excessive and changes in color to yellow, purulent, or even bloody, it falls under the category of pathological conditions.
