Using IUD For A Long Time. On A Weight Loss Program. Prolonged Brownish Discharge. Due To The Change In Eating Habit?

hi, i am 25 years old and have had the IUD in for the last 3 years. About 5 wks ago I started using slim genics a weight loss program. Along with that, I am eating ALOT more healthy than I use to, taking daily supplements and drinking lots of water. For the last week or so I have had a brownish-redish discharge that is not seeming to stop. Could this be happening because of the changes my body is going through detoxifying or is it something more serious? I have not had sex for quite a long time either so I really dont believe any STD issues would be the reasoning...please help!!!

Hi, IUD'S usually increase the chances of vaginal or genital tract infections. A brown-red discharge especially if foul smelling is likely to be due to vaginal infection. This can occur due to bacterial overgrowth even in the absence of intercourse. You need to be examined by your gynaec and prescribed specific treatment for it .
