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?
