Yes They do and this is why:

So what causes the characteristic smell of menstruation?You're not going to like this.Bacteria from the anus - oh, I'll just say it: they're from feces, and are the famous Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria - eat the blood, cells and tissue running from the uterus and vagina and produce the characteristic smell of menstruation.

Menstrual blood itself does not have a strong odor, but when it comes into contact with air and bacteria, it can develop a slight metallic scent. Additionally, personal hygiene practices, diet, and individual body chemistry can also affect any odor during menstruation. Using menstrual products with fragrance can also contribute to a different scent.
