A member asked:

I had unprotected sex on 13th july then took an emergency contraceptive pill less than 24hrs later. hours after taking it i noticed a foul discharge that has continued up to day. should i seek medical attention or is it just a side effect of the pill?

Vaginal odor ?'s: Vaginal oder after a sexual encounter usually indicates infection, so see a gyn physician for an exam. Remember also, "emergency contraceptive pills" are not 100% protective from pregnancy.
