Why is does the discharge smeel from my vagin after giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: In the days following delivery, the discharge, often called 'lochial discharge' does seem to have an odor. This is to some extent related to the ongoing healing of the uterine wall related to the where the placenta attached and old blood. Regardless, given that you are noticing a foul odor, you must talk with your ob/gyn now about this!
