Hello. I am 22 and I have had a copper for almost 2 years now. My periods are not longer than they used too... But ever since I ve gotten my IUD, I ve been having at least once a month a creamy white discharge that last a few days and it kind of smells like cheese (sorry, gross I know). What is weird is that when I have sex, the smell and the discharge go away. My gynecologist prescribed me Flagyl twice but a few days after the end of the treatment, it would come back. I went to a lab and they said that I had some clue cells, no yeast, a lot of Gardnerella vaginalis and a lot of Doderlein bacills. I ve been taking probiotics every months for 7 months. It helped until one month ago. The smell would come and go every day. I started prevegyn yesterday after it started smelling again. Also, my vulva doesn t smell at all. The smell stays inside with those creamy white leuccorhea that are not coming out. Today was better but tonight it is starting again. Usually, it starts around ovulation but I also have a very strong fool smell during my periods. I m gonna call another gynecologist tomorrow. I ve had a few yeast infections in my life and it is nothing like that : it doesn t itch, it s not swollen or anything. I m really starting to feel unhappy about that. I keep thinking about it every night trying to figure out a way to make this stop. I cry a lot. I don t feel confident at all and I ve been going around this internet for six months trying to find something but no one seems to have this problem. I don t want a hormonal contraceptive so the IUD seemed to be the best fit. But I m starting to wondering if this is linked.
