Could Tan Coloured Discharge Be A Result Of Having IUD-copper Removed?
I had my IUD (copper) removed 9-25-2012. I had it for 4 years+ and noe i am on the mini pill or POP and today noticed a very thick broen and black tan colored discharge. On 9-25-12 i received meds for a bacterial infection and took all the meds for the week as oredered. Should i go see my doc for this discharge?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prolonged intrauterine devices can lead to bacterial vaginosis and fungal infection. As of now take a vaginal swab to rule out any possibilities of infection. If discharge persists, consult a gynecologist and get a vaginal examination done.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
