What does it mean to have a foul smell from the lower body, and what should I do about it?

Under normal circumstances, "below" refers to the female external genitalia, and "84" refers to 84 Disinfectant. If the female external genitalia emits an odor resembling 84 Disinfectant, it may be caused by factors such as poor personal hygiene, vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, or endometritis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Poor Personal Hygiene

If personal hygiene is neglected and the vaginal area is not cleaned regularly, symptoms such as genital itching and vaginal discharge with an odor similar to 84 Disinfectant may occur. It is recommended to bathe frequently and change underwear regularly, which can help alleviate these symptoms.

2. Vaginitis

Vaginitis caused by bacterial infection may, under inflammatory stimulation, lead to increased vaginal discharge with a strong odor—such as that resembling 84 Disinfectant—as well as mild itching or burning sensation in the external genital area. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as metronidazole suppositories, Baofukang suppositories, or clotrimazole vaginal tablets can be used to relieve symptoms.

3. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

If the pelvic region becomes infected by pathogens, inflammation and lesions in the mucosal tissues may occur, possibly resulting in pus formation and causing the aforementioned symptoms. Additional symptoms may include increased vaginal discharge, fever, and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Follow your doctor’s instructions when using medications such as Fuyankang capsules, Gongxinning capsules, or Gynecological Qianjin tablets to help relieve discomfort.

4. Cervicitis

Cervicitis may result from abnormal vaginal flora or improper vaginal douching, leading to mucosal lesions in the cervix. Symptoms may include foul-smelling vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Under medical supervision, medications such as amoxicillin capsules, Kangfu anti-inflammatory suppositories, or Gonyanping tablets may be used to help alleviate symptoms.

5. Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammation that occurs when pathogens breach the cervical defenses and invade the endometrium. Pathogens multiplying within the endometrium can break down glandular secretions, producing foul odors resembling rot or 84 Disinfectant. Other possible symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, and menstrual irregularities. As directed by a physician, medications such as Fule tablets, Jingangteng capsules, or tinidazole capsules may be used to relieve discomfort.

It is advisable to maintain good hygiene practices, change underwear regularly, keep the external genital area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent worsening of symptoms.
