Actually, there will be a slight fishy smell during a normal menstruation period. This fishy smell mainly comes from the blood itself. If a person is more sensitive, standing near a menstruating woman may smell a hint of fishy odor, but this smell is not very strong. To understand whether menstruation is normal, the main thing is to observe the color of menstruation and the amount of menstrual blood. Normal menstrual blood volume is usually 35-58 milliliters. If it is greater than 80 milliliters, it is actually an abnormal phenomenon. The menstrual blood is usually dark red, and there should be no blood clots in menstrual blood, because menstrual blood itself does not coagulate into blood clots. If blood clots are found in menstrual blood, and the amount of menstrual blood increases with a strong odor, it is necessary to consider whether it is a pathological phenomenon.
Regarding the cause of menstrual fishy odor, if you find that your menstruation has a very strong fishy odor, you should consider whether it is caused by some bacterial vaginal diseases or endometrial cancer. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to diagnose and intervene in time according to the results of the examination, in order to minimize some adverse hazards.
In terms of menstrual care principles, women should pay attention to maintaining good living habits during menstruation, ensuring sufficient rest and sleep, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods in their diet, focusing on nutritional supplementation, balanced diet, and proper rest. Avoiding overwork can also help you pass through the menstrual period easily and happily.
