Vaginal Odor: The strong odor ("dead animal") may be caused by a tampon stuck in the upper vagina. The tampon may cause serious infection. See a healthcare provider to have the tampon removed or cultures taken and treatment rendered in case of an infection. "Lost tampons" are common especially if one is sexually active.
