A member asked:

I just finished my period but i have a lot of discharge that is starting to smell. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal flora: Odorous discharge after the menstrual flow has ceased is observed by many women. The menstrual flow throws off the balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in a woman's vagina towards the bad bacteria. It usually takes a woman's body a few days to restore the balance and odor and discharge disappear

What is wrong?! I have a lot more discharge than normal and it doesn't smell very pleasant. Also, i got my period about a week ago it only lasted about 4 days and was very light, which for me is unusual. It ended about 3 days ago and now i think its back.
I've missed my period for about a week and a half. I have a lot of clear mucusy discharge. What is this? No smell or itch involved.
