Question
The vaginal discharge has a bad odor. Should I be concerned?
Answer

The odor of lochia is usually described as "fleshy, musty or earthy." It should not be bad or offensive. If there is a foul odor to the discharge, please call your health provider as this could indicate an infection or other problem.
