A member asked:

I have brown smelly discharge for two days aftermy periods the smell is so foul howcan i treat this?

Bacterial overgrowth: Unless this is accompanied with pain, this may be a result of simple bacterial overgrowth. Retained tampon should be checked for, especially if this is accompanied by vaginal or pelvic pain. Pain should lead you to be checked by your physician.
