Question: Hello! About 2 months ago I left a tampon inside for almost 2 weeks until I noticed a strong smell and searched and in fact I found it. I got my regular menstrual cycle the following month. After my following period I started noticing the strong bad smell again. I freaked out thinking I'd forgotten another one in there. After searching and searching I have not found anything. I am not leading into my thirds menstrual cycle since I forgot the tampon and found it. I have been spotting after intercourse here and there with relish/bright pink discharge for about 2 months and after sex I have the strong smell. What has me very frightened is that at the mall the other day while in the dressing room I felt a warm liquid streaming down my leg. When I look down I had a stream of bright red very thinned out blood. Drops on the floor and it running down my leg. It was not an abundance of blood, but enough. My periods are usually pretty thick and heavy and it isn't do for another 10 days so I know it wasn't that. Please help!

Could there be any possiblity of this being a sign of cervical canser?

Before anything thank you for your professional imput. I truly appreciate it. Should I avoid intercourse until i see my obgyn on Monday?

Thanks again Dr.
