What is the reason for a bad smell in a pregnant woman's vagina?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be caused by vaginal inflammation during pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to cleaning the genital area. Moreover, you should clean from front to back, using lukewarm salt water, and only clean the outer labia. Do not use sanitary pads, as they are not breathable and can easily lead to infection. Underwear should be breathable and preferably made of pure cotton.
