<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, I ve had a copper IUD fitter for around 5 years now. It has caused me some problems with my periods as they are usually extremely heavy and smelly before I had it fitted they were really light. I do have poly cystic ovaries so occasionally get tummy pains. I ve noticed over the last few months I ve had a potent smell from my vagina. It is really bad that people notice it but I notice it, sometimes in my discharge. I ve read online it could be BV but people symptoms seem worse than mine it isn t fishy, it s more like an ammonia coppery smell. Could this be from the coil? Would you advise to have it removed?  <response>: HelloChatDoctor user I understood your concern and My opinion is that IUD does not cause foul smelling discharge, you must be having vaginal infectionpelvic infection thats why you are having foul smelling discharge, please take following tablet for 7 days T Doxycycline 100 mg 1-1 T Metro 400 mg 1-1-1 Clinger vaginal pessary for 6 days If your discharge doesnt reduce than I will advise you to remove IUD after doing ultrasonography hope my answers help you Thanks
