WHAT'S THE CAUSE OF SMƐLLING DISCHARGƐS
Smɛlling disch@rge, especially if it's a persistent or strong odœr, can be a sign of an infɛction, such as b@cterial va@ginosis or a yeast Infɛctions or other conditions. A fishy smɛll, often associated with b@cterial va@ginosis, can also be caused by trichomoni@sis, a sɛxually transmittɛd infɛction. Other potential causes include changes in pH balance, hygiene practices, and even certain foods or clothing.
Infɛctions:
B@cterial V@ginosis (BV):
This common v@ginal infɛction is often characterized by a fishy odœr, especially after sɛx, along with a thin, grayish-white disch@rge and sometimes itching or burning.
Yeast Infɛctions:
While typically associated with itching and a thick, white, cottage-cheese-like discharge, yeast Infɛctions can also sometimes cause a ye**ty or bread-like odœr,
Trichomoni@sis:
This STÏ can cause a foul-smɛlling, thin, and possibly frothy discharge, along with itching or irritation.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTĺs):
UTIĺs can sometimes lead to a change in urine odor, which can sometimes be perceived as a V@ginal odor according to Everyday Health.
Hormonal Changes:
Fluctuations in hormones, like during menopause, can alter the v@ginal environment and potentially lead to changes in odœr.
