Unpleasant Vaginal odor, could it be my IUD?

Guest over a year ago

I have the same smell! like bad breath. It's so disgusting but only during my period as well. I never had this smell until after the IUD. Seems like that's the cause. t

I've had mine for now almost 2 years. The odor just started a few months ago and won't go away. It's terrible. What should I do?

Me tooooo! It started after sex and then my tampons were smelling up the bathroom. I thought i had an STD and the dr treated me for a bacterial infection. I am almost done with the antibiotics and the smell is still there and even some occasional spotting. I change my underwear like three times a day now because the smell is so bad!

Me too thought was my husband was cheating. I have the 10 yr IUD I got checked out and no infections. But I will have a weird onion smell or something dunno but I'm taking mines out in 2 weeks.

Now it all makes sense cause I have been battling this embarrassing problem alone. I am happy to have found this website. I got my copper IUD 4months ago and have started to notice a strange smell that makes me feel uncomfortable around people.

Yes remove it as soon as you can. I had mine removed and the scent was gone with a week.

No its the IUD. I am not sexually active. I have to control heavy periods.

I have had my paraguard in for 9 and 1/2 years, and before this one I had a paraguard in for 5 years. For about 6 months it's so stinky, have to change my underwear twice a day. I never had this problem before 6 months ago, and only a few days ago began to wonder if it could be from the paraguard being so old. Glad that Google has all the answers haha. I have an appointment in a month to get it removed. Can't wait to feel comfortable sitting on faces again, especially since that's the most action I should be doing without birth control

Love the stuff. I always keep it handy but it can be a bit oricey.

Boric Acid!! Your doctor can prescribe it and the odor will go away for a few days. Just keep doing it every three days or so. Works perfect!!
