Menstral smells like feces

I noticed during my last period that the blood smelled almost deathly like pooh and it scared me.... Two days after my period my husband and I had sex and I could smell the smell like someone passed gas and then when I went to the restroom to clean myself up there was brownish colored blood on the bedding... I was jus depressed that whole next day and scared.... Can anyone tell me what to do to ease my thoughts a little ..

Ever had a child? It is possible to have a fistula between your anus and vagina. If possible, see you doctor.

Go see your ob-gyn and get swabbed for bacterial vaginosis (BV).  If you have it, both you and your husband should have a round of antibiotics.  Look up the descriptions of BV online and you will find a foul smell around the time of the period as one of the big obvious symptoms.
