Vagina Smell & Excessive Discharge
This might be a sign of bacterial vaginosis, which happens when the balance of bacteria in the vagina is off. No need to worry—it's common and usually not serious. It's a good idea to see a doctor who can prescribe antibiotics or vaginal gels to treat it. Avoid using douching or scented products, as they can make it worse. Many women experience this, so getting it from a gynecologist can help.

Safe Options for Postpartum Contraception
Emergency birth control pills block pregnancy after unprotected sex. They delay ovulation, prevent fertilization, or stop a fertilized egg from implanting. Frequent effects are feeling sick, puking, tiredness, and off menstrual cycles. EC pills aren't meant for regular use, only occasional protection emergencies. Don't depend on them for constant birth control; that's risky. Consult a gynecologist if you're unsure about using them safely.

Am I pregnant or just experiencing post-period bleeding?
The light bleeding you're experiencing could be due to various reasons. It might be passed blood from your period or implantation bleeding, which sometimes occurs in early pregnancy. Some typical first symptoms of pregnancy are nausea, tiredness, and sensitivity of the breast. If you're worried about being pregnant, a pregnancy test is a reliable method to find out. If you continue to have concerns or the bleeding persists, it's a good idea to talk to a gynecologist for more personalized guidance.

Protected sex on 4 Feb, light bleeding on 2 March
Sometimes, light bleeding around menstruation can happen due to implantation. This is when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining. Not everyone experiences implantation bleeding, but it's possible. No need to worry excessively. However, if uncertain, take a pregnancy test for reassurance. Stress also impacts menstrual cycles.
