Menstruation is usually blood red, does it have any odor? Let's go together with the editor to unravel the doubts.
Generally speaking, normal menstruation does not have any odor (except for a slight bloody smell); Unless it is bacteria that grow in the vagina and produce unpleasant odors due to the decomposition of blood, urine, and other substances released during the menstrual cycle; In addition, menstrual blood may also be hidden in the pubic hair and emit odors. Therefore, it is recommended to rinse the perineum with warm water every time you go to the bathroom during menstruation, if time permits, to keep it clean.

When menstruation comes, it is important to take frequent showers, rinse with hot water, and avoid baths. This can lead to infections and, in severe cases, gynecological inflammation. If one does not take a shower for more than two days, an unpleasant odor cannot be avoided.
