Does normal leucorrhea have a smell?

Normal leucorrhea is odorless. If there is an abnormal smell, consider having vaginal inflammation and suggest going to the hospital to identify the cause.

Normal leucorrhea is white paste or egg white like, sticky, no fishy smell and small amount, called physiological leucorrhea. Leukorrhea is a female vaginal secretion that accompanies women throughout their lives, and its formation is related to hormonal action. The amount and texture of leucorrhea secretion is influenced by the level of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and it changes periodically with the menstrual cycle in terms of quantity, thinness and consistency. After menstruation, the amount of leucorrhea is small; during ovulation, the leucorrhea increases, transparent, slightly sticky, egg-white like filament; 2-3 days after ovulation, the estrogen level in the body begins to decline, the leucorrhea becomes cloudy, thick and sticky and the amount is small. Before and after menstruation, leucorrhea tends to increase.

Once the diagnosis is clear, symptomatic treatment should be given. It is also important to keep the vulva clean and hygienic, avoid unclean sex, and take precautions to avoid infections.
