What Causes A Brown Smelly Discharge?
I ve had the Mirena for almost 4 years and hardly ever bleed. If I do it s light brown discharge and this happens only twice a year. The last month ive had light brown discharge with a foul odor. I lasted 4 days. 3 weeks later my discharge stated again but this time it changed from brown to green to red in a day. Now im bleeding lightly with the same foul scent. Im going to the doctor tomorrow but do you think this can be because of the Mirena? e the foul duscharge.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The foul smelling brown discharge is likely due to vaginal or cervical infection. The Mirena can lead to infection. I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist for proper internal examination and vaginal swab examination to confirm the diagnosis and get further treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
