Will slowly improve: The bloody discharge of menses can harbor bacteria which naturally clears itself as the flow ends. Avoid scented pads/tampons as the scent products may adversely affect vaginal pH. Avoid wipes(same pH issue). Change pads, tampons & underwear often; regularly shower. A generalized body spray, not directly on the vaginal area, is often helpful. Persistent odor suggests infection & should be checked
