Should I Be Concerned About The Foul Smelling Light Period With Brown Clots After Taking A Pill?

I am on the pill, the one that you only get your period every 3 months. Ive been geeting a very light period, and it has a yucky infection smell to it. Just tonight just after i stopped bleeding there was a brown discharge, with some hard, amd some gooey brown clots. Should i be worried?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
While being on hormonal pills, some amount of menstrual irregularity is common.
Your scanty flow during periods, brown discharge etc could be due to that.
But foul smell is somewhat abnormal.
If the smell persists and associated symptoms like white discharge, itching etc occurs, there is possibility of vaginal infection.
In that case better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If there is any evidence of infection, you may need one course of antibiotics.
You can continue your pills.
Take care.
