A member asked:
1 month ago i had unprotected sex &took plan b. four weeks later i got a bright orange smelly period..is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Orange isn't a typical color for a period, but the timing is right. If you're worried about smell, you could have a bacterial infection. Your doctor should be able to diagnose and treat you for that if it's a concern. Best of luck!
