2. Failure in the process of metabolism, which is evidence of the presence of a fishy smell.
3. This kind of unpleasant odors from the vagina can appear when there is a risk of bacterial vaginosis or dysbiosis.
4. If a woman is worried about the constant smell of urine, she may have an incontinence. The cause of the disease can be a strong nervous strain or age. All the salt is that the intra-abdominal pressure rises, which seems to squeeze urine out of the urethra. The weakness of sphincters leads to the fact that they simply can not hold it.
5. Unpleasant odors from the vagina become a consequence of the presence of yeast infections, in particular candidiasis.

Unpleasant smell from the vagina: treatment and prevention

In many cases, the cause of the development of a disease is disregard for personal hygiene. It is necessary to wash properly: movements should be directed from front to back, so that the intestinal stick does not hit the vagina. You need to wash twice a day, the water should be warm, not cold.

Do not use any solution or remedy without prescribing the doctor, because this can cause a violation of the natural microflora.

A gynecologist, in order to diagnose the cause of the appearance of an unpleasant odor, usually conducts a series of procedures and examinations. These are:

1. Inspection, smear.
2. Delivery of blood and urine tests.
3. If necessary, a gynecologist can prescribe an ultrasound.

It should be remembered that there is no single treatment option, because all of its types are selected strictly individually. And it is necessarily complex, which includes both douching and the use of medications (with bacterial vaginosis - the means "Clindamycin", "Metrogyl Plus", with colpitis - medicines "Terzhinan", "Metronidazole"), physiotherapy (laser therapy, darsonvalization, laser puncture , Pulse magnetotherapy).

If you do everything, as the doctor says, not only the smell from the vagina will be eliminated, but the very disease that caused it.
