Question 1

i have been bleeding or should i say spotting dark brown blood with a bad smell to it for two weeks now after my cycle. ?

Accepted Answer

Old blood: usually a mixture of blood with cervical and vagiinal mucous. I f you have had any unprotected intercourse , please consult your GYN. You can clean yourself out using a baking soda/sterile water ,disposable douche twice a week.

Question 2

i have a bad vaginal itch with blood. it use to be discharged but now its blood but i only bleed in the mornings and its no smell is this a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Maybe yeast, but...: This could be a relatively severe yeast infection, but there are other posibilities, such as allergy to a vaginal hygiene prodcut or even residual detergent in your underwear. It's important to see a doctor in person about this and not try to figure it out from a distance as in this forum. The treatment for one of these could make things worse if you guess wrong. See your doctor. Good luck!

Question 3

i'm bleeding a small amount of really dark, almost black blood. no clots though. it started yesterday. i haven't really noticed a bad smell either?

Accepted Answer

No worries: What you are describing can be very normal sometimes. It's a little bit of breakthrough bleeding. As long as you're not having pain, foul smell or fever then continue to monitor. If any of the above symptoms start, see your doctor. Hope this was helpful.

Question 4

quick question.. i got my period dec.2, i've had unprotected sex and now i began to bleed but it doesn't smell like period blood.

Accepted Answer

"Period" blood smell: If the bleeding is bright red and not dark, then there was a probable vaginal or cervical injury that produced the bleeding. If the bleeding is dark like a period(venous type bleeding) then the "smell" doesn't matter only if the timing of the bleeding indicates that a period should be "coming down the tracks" a this time. Please use contraception in the future to avoid unwanted future "trains".

Question 5

my baby is 2weeks old now is it normal to bleed browny red blood with bit charge it doesn't always smell but wipe my self earlier an it was fishy?

Accepted Answer

Lochia: The dicharge that comes out in the first few weeks is called lochia. If you feel that it is abnormal or overly smelly you could schedule a visit for testing.

Question 6

i've been bleeding on and off for about six weeks. slight cramping, and blood amount ranges (mostly light) the blood sort of smells weird? worried!!!!

Accepted Answer

GYN: Abnormal bleeding requires a GYN exam and hormonal evaluation. Please direct your issues to an examining GYN and never ignore 6 weeks of abnormal bleeding.

Question 7

i smell blood in my 2 year old's nose. over the past week she has had 2 nose bleeds and she fell from her bike prior to this. is her nose bleeding int?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If her nose were bleeding internally it would appear in her mouth. She probably has some rawness that may be causing the smell. Also make sure she doesn't have a foreign object stuck in her nose. use a salt water nose spray to get out dried blood and also help prevent future nose bleeds

Question 8

smell blood down there but not bleeding?

Accepted Answer

OK: Maybe you have a sensitive nose and it is residual blood from your previous period.

Question 9

when cut and bleeding my blood smells like metal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Some people describe the smell (and taste) of blood as somewhat metallic. This is normal.

Question 10

i got a medication abortion 2weeks ago, and im still bleeding. the blood is dark brown colored. its not lot at all but it has smell too. i need help.

Accepted Answer

Follow up?: You may have some bleeding for 7-10 days. However, if you have fever, worsening abdominal pain, persistant smelly discharge, you should see a doctor. Are you scheduled to see a ob-gyn doctor in the near future? Follow up with your doctor to address all concerns.
