Hi, thanks for writing..
Yes, during 2nd degree perineal tear , there will minimal slimy discharge for 2 months during the time wound heals completely.. But there will be no foul smelling.. If there is foul smell, it would be better to get a pelvic examination to rule out infection.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day
