Question
Is discharge suppose to have a smell? If so how do you know if it's normal?
Answer
Discharge does have a smell and although most people think others can smell it, they usually cannot. I do not know how to tell you that it smells OK via the internet, but everyone's discharge smells a little different and it is not usually a "bad" smell - just a body smell. If you have an infection - it might become a "bad" smell and most people know something is wrong.
