Post-Menstrual Smell: When to Suspect Vaginitis Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TCM Clinic

Menstruation is a natural physiological process for women. However, various factors such as changes in living conditions, high stress, psychological factors, excessive exercise, and gynecological diseases can influence menstruation. An odor after menstruation can sometimes be attributed to physiological reasons, often linked to the poor quality and breathability of sanitary pads.

However, pathological factors cannot be ignored. Conditions like endometritis, trichomonal vaginitis, and other gynecological diseases are common culprits. For women of reproductive age, menstruation signifies normal reproductive function. Yet, some may notice an unpleasant odor in their genital area post-period, causing discomfort and embarrassment.

1 Physiological Reasons 2 Pathological Reasons What Causes an Odor After Menstruation?

Physiological Reasons Using low-quality sanitary pads with poor breathability during menstruation can irritate the external genitalia. This irritation can prompt the secretion of substances from the external genital glands, leading to dampness and an unpleasant odor. Symptoms may include itching in the genital area but typically do not involve abdominal pain or increased vaginal discharge. In such cases, washing the intimate area with warm water should quickly alleviate the symptoms.

Pathological Reasons Gynecological conditions like endometritis, trichomonal vaginitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can produce inflammatory secretions in the reproductive system, increasing vaginal discharge. If untreated, these conditions may result in a foul odor in the genital area.

Vaginitis, if untreated, can cause foul-smelling discharge, increased discharge, and itching. For instance, trichomonal vaginitis, a common vaginal inflammation caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection, leads to increased vaginal discharge, genital itching, and thin, foamy, yellow-green discharge.

Vaginitis symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, changes in discharge characteristics, color, and odor, along with itching and a burning sensation in the genital and vaginal areas. During menstruation and the surrounding days, hormone levels are at their lowest, making the female reproductive system more susceptible to infections. What Causes an Odor After Menstruation Due to Vaginitis?

How to Treat Vaginitis with Odor After Menstruation? The types of vaginitis causing vaginal odor are often trichomonal vaginitis or bacterial vaginosis. Once diagnosed, these conditions can be treated with herbal medicines like Fuyan Pill , which help reduce inflammation, regulate menstrual cycles, and alleviate symptoms. For trichomonal vaginitis, it is advisable for both sexual partners to receive treatment simultaneously to prevent recurrent infections.

How to Eliminate Odor in Daily Life? 1. Pay Attention to Clothing: Wearing tight-fitting clothes, especially during menstruation, can increase sweating and body odor. Opt for cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothing to ensure proper ventilation. 2. Change Sanitary Pads Frequently: Change sanitary pads every 4 hours to reduce skin contact with moist pads. Increase the frequency of changes if menstrual flow is heavy.

3. Maintain Hygiene: Contrary to some beliefs, maintaining personal hygiene is crucial during menstruation. Avoiding baths for more than two days can lead to odors from menstrual blood. 4. Focus on Intimate Care: Women should prioritize intimate care along with other personal care routines. This includes keeping the intimate area clean and addressing any concerns.

In summary, if you experience abnormal symptoms like foul-smelling discharge or changes in color, undergo routine vaginal discharge examinations and seek prompt treatment. Additionally, maintain personal hygiene, keep the genital area clean and dry, and abstain from sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent cross-infection.
