Question
I started having sex last year. Lately I've been having foul-smelling yellowing discharge. Mom sent me to the doctor and the doc said I have POCS and vaginosis. She gave me meds and a vaccination for cancer, but as of now I still have foul-smelling discharge. This time it's bloody/brownish in color.
Answer
You may be having the start of your menses if the discharge is becoming bloody. If it is not the right time in your cycle, and the discharge seems to continue being malodorous, you could have your physician examine the area again and perform a culture to make sure it is an infection.
