A member asked:
Is it normal to have smelly yellow discharge with some blood after giving birth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: Bloody discharge is normal for up to 6 weeks, but a yellow discharge with odor may indicate bacterial vaginosis or vaginitis. See you doctor about an exam and possible antibiotic treatment.

No: While its normal to have discharge and bleeding after delivery, it's not normal for it to be smelly and may indicate an infection. Please be evaluated by your provider.
