A member asked:

I am 5 weeks post c-section. slight odour to vaginal discharge (light brownish). is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: I had a cesarean as well, and was surprised by the odor following delivery. It's completely normal. So long as you don't have any itching or any other vaginal symptoms, this type of dischare is completely normal.
