Question 1

what does it mean when you start to have your period but it smells bad like death  with black goo?

Accepted Answer

What a description!: One of the first things i look for when a woman complains of really bad vaginal odor is a lost tampon! sometimes a tampon is placed in the vagina, the string gets tucked inside, and a woman can forget it's there. After a while, the odor can be quite strong. But it's also possible that there's an infection present, and it would be very wise to have this checked by your doctor. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Question 4

this is gross but my period smells like metal. i'm on my third day and it's heavy it's never really smelled like anything before is this normal?

Accepted Answer

May be infection: This does happen. You are not imaging it. The coppery smell is because the blood being shed contains iron, which smells coppery to you. Menstrual cycles may smell different at different times due to the amount of old blood left in the vagina, hormone levels, and even the type of sanitary pads used. If the malodor persists even after your cycle, it could be a condition called BV which needs meds.
