A member asked:

My periods are delayed by 20 days this month and the blood is giving a very foul odour. why is that? what do i do?"

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilties: Did your period come yet? If it did, is it normal except the odor. If you are not pregnant, then periods can be late and i would wait to see what happens with the next cycle. If the odor persists after the bleeding is over, see your doctor.
