Hi, why is my menstrual period smells bad? it started out of nowhere, and im very nervous of what's going on.can you help.i have no symptoms just odor.

Odor: Sometimes, a foul odor of the menstrual cycle is normal. There are numerous feminine products to combat this issue. On "the other hand", a foul odor may be indicative of an infection. If you are concerned, see the GYN to assure all is well.
