I just have a one day heavy menstruation, followed by a mild vaginal spotting. what freaks me out is that it has a foul smell. help me pls..

Smelly discharge: There are several causes of bad smelling vaginal discharge and testing is needed to determine the cause and treatment. The most likely is bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria. It causes a watery discharge with a fishy odor. It is not sexually transmitted and your partner does not require treatment. It is treated with antibiotics.
