Hello doctor,
I started my period 15 days back. And it ended a week later. Today (five days after it ended), I had some brown discharge (this was about 11 hours ago). And this is gonna sound really weird but when I was in the shower (11 hours later) I stuck my finger up there and when I pulled my finger out there was a lot of blood and discharge and it smells terrible. Is this normal to have this much discharge so close to my past period?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The presence of smell and bleeding with discharge after your menses have stopped, indicates a possibility of cervicitis with bacterial vaginosis (infection). If you are sexually active then the chances of contracting infection are higher. You shall require a per speculum examination by your gynecologist to rule out cervical erosions.
