What Causes Heavy And Foul Smelling Menstrual Bleeding?
My period was heavier than normal and at the end when I was almost off, I noticed a foul smell. I usually have no problems with vaginal odor, even during my periods. Someone said I was probably pregnant and lost itbut I don t think so. What could this be?

hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Foul smelling heavy vaginal discharge is not a symptom of pregnancy.
It may be due to infection. If it is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen or fever , Kindly consult a gynaecologist as he/she may advise a course of antibiotics like Norfloxacin and Tinidazole if you are not allergic to it.
Kindly maintain vaginal hygiene by using vaginal wash having acidic pH.
Thanks
