Hi, I ve had a copper IUD fitter for around 5 years now. It has caused me some problems with my periods as they are usually extremely heavy and smelly (before I had it fitted they were really light). I do have poly cystic ovaries so occasionally get tummy pains. I ve noticed over the last few months I ve had a potent smell from my vagina. It is really bad that people notice it but I notice it, sometimes in my discharge. I ve read online it could be BV but people symptoms seem worse than mine & it isn t fishy, it s more like an ammonia coppery smell. Could this be from the coil? Would you advise to have it removed?
Hello Health care magic user I understood your concern and My opinion is that IUD does not causes foul smelling discharge, you must be having vaginal infection/pelvic infection that's why you are having foul smelling discharge,
please take following tablet for 7 days T Doxycycline 100 mg 1-1 T Metrogyl 400 mg 1-1-1 Clingen vaginal pessary for 6 days
If your discharge doesn't reduce than i will advise you to remove IUD after doing ultrasonography
I hope my answers help you Thanks
