A member asked:

My last day of menstruation is having a foul odor,is that normal?if it is not what's the medicine to treat it??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Old blood at the ends of a cycle may have an odor. An infection, like BV can also cause a bad odor sometimes described as fish-like. If you have pain, itching or burning with this odorous discharge, check it out! Metronidazole is often used to treat BV.
