There are more reasons for the odor of vaginal discharge during menopause, which may be caused by inadequate hygiene, atrophic vaginitis, cervical cancer and so on.
1. Inadequate hygiene: During menopause, if women do not pay attention to local hygiene, which leads to the accumulation of secretions, vaginal secretions with bad smell may occur.
2. Atrophic vaginitis: mostly due to changes in hormone levels in the female body, estrogen secretion decreases, the local resistance of the vagina decreases, and it is easily infected by pathogenic bacteria, causing atrophic vaginal inflammation. There may be increased vaginal secretion with odor, accompanied by local itching and other uncomfortable symptoms.
3. Cervical cancer: It is mostly due to the necrosis and shedding of cervical tumor cells, which is discharged with secretion and may be accompanied by abnormal smell and vaginal bleeding.
There may be other reasons for the odor of vaginal secretion during menopause, so it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, identify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, and carry out standardized treatment.
