Hello,

I can understand the concern. Foul smelling vaginal bleeding is a sign of presence of infection in the vaginal tract, ovaries, uterus or fallopian tubes. Probably the infection was the reason that you were not getting periods and now you are facing symptoms of untreated infection.

I would advise you to visit your gynecologist for the physical examination and finding out the source of infection. You might have to undergo investigations like blood tests and sonogram. Based on the test results, treatment can be decided. You might have to go for antibiotic course.

I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
