Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

You did not mention if you did receive treatment for the urinary tract infection you were diagnosed of. If you did not take antibiotics, it is imperative to meet the doctor for a prescription.

Brown discharges are not a normal feature and you need to be investigated for a probable endometritis or inflammation of the uterine lining with possible removal of the IUD.

Hope this helps you.
Best regards
