    Do I have a vaginal infection?
    The smell of my cycle is way different than normal. It kind of smells like a metal. And my cycle is lighter if that has something to do with it. Do I have an infection? What can I do, if so?

    Blood sometimes has a coppery scent, if that is what you mean by 'metal'.

    A lighter then usual menstrual cycle does not mean you have an infection.

    Any concerns should be addressed by your doctor. There is no way to offer a diagnosis, not even a guess, online.

    If you're worried, make an appointment with your doctor.

    Good luck.

    Maybe you can be more specific next time, so time isn't wasted with sketchy details first time.

    See your doctor.
