I'm having slightly yellow mucus like discharge and it's a little smelly but not too bad. I just had a baby 7 months ago and 2 months. Ago started birth control. Is this normal? Could it be an infection from an inproperly washed penis or hands?

Yes, it could be an infection, but it doesn't have to be from an improperly washed penis or hands... there can be numerous reasons for it, such as simply a response from something going on in your body.

It may also just be normal discharge which can be slightly off color at different times in your cycle. If it doesn't have a strong odor, doesn't cause itching or irritation, it is possibly just normal discharge. Only way you would know for sure if it is due to an infection would be to see your doctor.

OK. I thought it might be normal. I just have never had this happen until after having my baby. Pregnancy does weird things to a woman's body.
