No. That's not normal for a period. I would go to the doctor about that. Not only is the smell an indication of an infection but the vagina itself is not suppose to hurt during your period. I'm definately not trying to scare you but I would sincerely consider making an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. I hope you get to feeling better! :)

no thats not really normal. You might have an infection. you don't have to be sexually active in order to get infections or have problems. you should probably see a gynocologist.

You should go to your doctor for advice. It seems that you have an infection of some sort. And, if if the smell really bothers you, you can buy scented pads /tampons.

you sure the smell is all that bad you know your vagina will have some smell to it which is nice and the period time will make it worse so maybe just gong to your family doctor just to know if its normal or not.

It sounds to me like a trip to the gynecologist is in order.
A slight odor is not uncommon, but a strong smell is definitely a sign of an infection.
The soreness that you are experiencing also sounds worrying.

There is one thing you can try before going to doc. You can buy a Yeast infection cure kit. It is a very common vaginal infection that will produce extra odor and red and tenderness and usually produces a discharge too. It is usually best described like cottage cheese looking stuff. It may be hard to tell if you are on your monthly because of that mess. They have 1 day, 3 and 7 day kits. Especially being young as you are do not get the 1 day cure, it is a very strong dose of medicine (obviously it has to be to do the same job in 1 day) and it causes lots of women extra redness and even swelling and a lot of pain because of this, then it takes days to get over the medicine itself after the infection is gone. So you may as well take the 3 or 7 day version and not have the extra torture of what the medicine does to you on top of the rest.
If a week has passed after your last dose and you are not better or are even worse you will have to go to the doc like it or not. Tell the doc you are a virgin and they probably will just take a swab of your discharge. Just look the other way just like getting a shot to help yourself deal with the discomfort of having to be naked and let them look at you. And try to block it out of your mine and you'll get through it just fine. They are really fast so it will be over quick, just like getting a shot. You are a big girl now, you can handle it. Just keep in mind this is a warm up for having children, when you will have to go through such exams like crazy, and then every year after that to have a pap smear to check for cancer. (they won't give you birth control if you don't do it) Good Luck!

You should inform your mom with your problem, maybe she can get help. There is herbal products such as 'Manjakani' which can help to remove the bad odor.
