Post menstrual odor : If you utilize tampons during your menstrual period, it is a common occurrence for mixed foul odor and a "reddish discharge" to result from a tampon "lost" (inadvertently not removed) in the upper vagina. This can cause vaginal infection, odor and discharge as described. See your gyn for an exam .

What is wrong?! I have a lot more discharge than normal and it doesn't smell very pleasant. Also, i got my period about a week ago it only lasted about 4 days and was very light, which for me is unusual. It ended about 3 days ago and now i think its back.
