I ve hade my paraguard iud for almost 5yrs now come this march, but for the last few weeks I ve been experiencing a whole lot of abdominal pain, back pain, painful bloating(gas) and a lot of pain when moving my bowels. I first noticed once my period ended this month and I was having cramps long after my cycle was through, and my discharge was a bit smelly and tinged with a little bit of blood. Those symptoms went away but I m left a low libido and can be painful at times to have sex, along with the other symptoms I first discussed with you. I ve checked and I can still feel the strings to my iud but what do u think is wrong and how can I treat it??
