A member asked:
Hi i have a weird smell before my period it's not fishy nor too bad . do women usually change odors before period ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaginal odor: Usual pre-menstrual odors are secondary to infection. Bacterial infections can produce unpleasant odors. Yeast infections are not dangerous, and are common just prior to one's period. If the odor is not unpleasant, it is probably a yeast overgrowth and is not serious. If this is irritating or produces itching, see your healthcare provider.
