Patient's question:
Usually, I am a very clean girl, and I also pay great attention to the cleanliness of my private area. I often wash it with soapy water, and it usually smells very fresh. But the other day, when I smelled my underwear I had just taken off, I noticed a strange odor.What kind of help do I need: What could be causing the odor in a girl's private area?
Doctor's answer:
The lower part of a woman's body emits certain unique odors, which are related to some secretions of the vagina and vulva. Under normal circumstances, the fluids secreted by the vagina and vulva have the function of preventing bacterial invasion and maintaining local lubrication; when there are reproductive system diseases, especially inflammatory diseases, a certain amount of inflammatory secretions will be secreted. The former is physiological, while the latter is pathological.
