What Causes Bad Odored Vaginal Bleeding While On ParaGard?

I have a reddish brown discharge that smells metallic. I have had the Paraguard in since late April early May. I have been having this discharge for the entire month following my period. I believe I have started my period now due to the spotting being bright red. Can you help me with this?

It can be due to vaginal fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or moxikind-cv after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching. You can take Fole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part by regular washing or use v-wash vaginal.
