What Causes Vagina Odor And Discharge With Cramping After Mirena IUD Insertion?

I have had the Mirena IUD since my 6 week check up. My baby is now a year old. Lately I have been having some on and off cramps and just started with foul smelling, light orange discharge. I am due for my period, but it has never looked or smelled like this. What could it be?

Hello,

Imfections like bacterial vaginosis and thrush can develop after inserting mirena or any other IUD. You can go for a vaginal swab for confirming the diagnosis. You can take Doxycycline tablets empirically and use Clotrimazole vaginal lotion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
