TMI warning. Odoured discharge

70 replies

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:36

So about a week ago, I had a very heavy painful menstrual bleed. It stopped after 1 day. Now today, I have a very heavy vaginal discharge of a white short of discharge which smells to the high heavens. It's coming out in sort of lots of clumps of a slimey white sort of discharge from my vagina. The stink is really bad.
What the hell is this? I haven't had a colposcopy or anything recently but the smell is like when I had an infection post colposcopy years ago.
Lower back pain again, but nothing bad.
Could I have an infection somehow?

Could you have left a tampon in?

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:38

No, no tampon in.

Have you taken a pg test?

IsItThatTimeAgain · 17/01/2019 18:40

That sounds really bad, I would make an appointment with a GP.

Youcouldbemysilversprings · 17/01/2019 18:41

Maybe thrush?

Avis7 · 17/01/2019 18:41

Sounds like bacterial vaginosis. Definitely worth seeing a doctor

Cornettoninja · 17/01/2019 18:42

If you recognise the smell as an infection I would treat it as an infection. GP asap.

ShirleyPhallus · 17/01/2019 18:43

I’m voting for BV too. See a doctor or you can get a test kit from Boots

VictoriaBun · 17/01/2019 18:45

Of it is a strong yeasty (bread) odour then probably thrush. If fishy BV .

brokenhead · 17/01/2019 18:48

Deff doc. Ring 111 if it doesn't smell like thrush or fish you could be septic within hours. It's not always POSs to find a tampon you lost....

What does it smell of

phlebasconsidered · 17/01/2019 18:50

How old are you? Now I am perimenopausal I get the odd awfully stinky bleed.

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:56

It is a fishy smell. Sorry, I apologise for the grossness. I just can't understand what it can be an infection of.

Do you have a coil fitted?

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:57

It smells like an infection I had post colposcopy. But I haven't had any treatment like that in years. But it's a lot of discharge.

OP posts:
almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:58

No, no coil either.

Oh I have an idea
Did you have sex last night by any chance and have sperm inside you?

Because
The smell of blood and semen is the worst if you leave it over night oh my god

Have a shower should be all gone

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 18:59

I'm 39

Fishy sounds more like an imbalance then a deadly infection but if you feel unwell I'd call the GP ooh

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 19:00

No, haven't had sex in months and had a shower this morning. It's the discharge that appears to stink. I can smell it from sitting down. Going to cry!

OP posts:
brokenhead · 17/01/2019 19:01

Oh you poor thing

Apple cider vinegar on a tampon

Can you go and get BV gel this evening ?

Sounds pretty bad if you can smell it just sitting down ☹️

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 19:01

The discharge is flowing out of me like a heavy period. That can't be right can it?

OP posts:
brokenhead · 17/01/2019 19:02

No that's wrong

ring the out of hours GP incase its a nasty infection

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 19:03

I'll go to the GP in the morning. I'm sure I'll survive for 12 hours lol. Just wondering what the hell it is?

BV, I've had it once and it stunk.

almutasakieun · 17/01/2019 19:04

The pain is relatively mild back pain and abdominal pain.
