A member asked:

When i'm on my period, my tampon is soaked with an old urine smell, what causes that type of discharge from my vagina?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection: The odor is likely ammonia and urea. This odor indicates infection. It is likely that an infection exists. It is possible that a fistula exists between vagina and bladder. It is possible that a cervical or vaginal infection exists. The work up requires urinalysis, urine culture, GYN exam, and vaginal and cervical cultures.ur
