What Causes Foul Odor Around Groin, Abdominal Cramps And Tenderness In Breasts?
Could be BV ( bacterial vaginosis ).
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
The menstrual irregularity is because of the removal of the IUD.
The periods can be irregular for 2 - 3 months after insertion or removal of the IUD.
The fishy odour can be indicative of an infection - BV ( bacterial vaginosis ).
Do you have any itching / redness / pain or itching during or after intercourse ?
Have you recently changed a sexual partner ?
In any case you should be investigated for the irregular cycles and for the typical fishy odour.
Please consult an OB - GYN.
Go for an internal exam, Pap smear and a pelvic ultrasound scan.
Are you of normal weight ?
Also, please get a vaginal swab and culture done, to rule out infection.
The swab will rule out BV too.
ALso please avoid using any special soap, gel, douche or cleanser to clean yourself, just lukewarm water is the best for cleansing the vagina.
All other products deplete the natural vaginal flora, predisposing to more infection.
All the best.
please feel free to discuss further.
