Mirena Coil Smell Problems??

I cant find a topic for contraception????
Anyway, bit embarrassing, sorry if this sounds gross, but dont know where else to go / ask!
It seems to coincide with when I had my Mirena coil fitted about 2 years ago after my 3rd and last child, but ever since, every time my partner ejaculates in me, the next morning it stinks, literally like (both our words) "something has died up there." This never used to be an issue. Since having the coil, my vagina doesn't always smell the freshest either even after a shower, again used to be ok. Have seen the doctor about it, she hasn't really heard of such a thing. Obviously partner insists its me, not him (! typical man) but he did say something like the coil is stopping the sperm going where it should so it gets trapped and smells, has anyone else experienced this? Im 40. I had bad thrush with last pregnancy which was stinky too but have since had 2 thrush tests and Im fine.

No experience personally but have you had a test for bv? That can get a bit smelly, is also recurrent.

Could you go to your local GUM clinic? They may be more able to help as they deal with that area all the time.

The sperm getting trapped does not sound right to me..
Did you have a test before you got your coil placed? Maybe if you had thrush at the time, it got in your uterus with the coil?
That would make it harder to treat I guess.
