A member asked:

I get mud colored stains on my underwear and clothes after exercising or a strenuous workout. there is a lot of it and it smells bad. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe infection?: Hi CandiceS exercise tends to move any secretions out of the vagina, and 'mud' might just be old menstrual blood, which could smell 'bad', or signs of an infection (Bacterial Vaginosis, Trichomonas, etc). Better see a gyn practitioner to check.
