A member asked:

Two days before my period and i had some blood, not brownish as usual before period, but reddish, also some mucus , smelly too. what can it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly infection: Bloody mucous and odor can be a sign of cervical or vaginal infection. You should see your physician, especially if the symptoms do not clear after the period. If you continue to have spotting between periods, even with no odor, see your physician.
