Hello doctor, I just had my period and last night, I masturbated and this morning there was blood and it had a strong odor. What does that mean?
Hello. Strong odor means you might be having a vaginal infection which may commonly occur in women due to lack of hygiene sometimes (during masturbation hand or sex toy if not sterilized properly) may lead to traveling of germs up inside the vagina and may result in infection and smelly vaginal discharge. I would suggest once wash your affected area as much as possible with plain water and avoid using any cosmetic products there and avoid tampon as well. Preferably use sanitary towels for periods and as soon you finish your periods get yourself assessed by a doctor to get the exact diagnosis of discharge and appropriate treatment.
