So for a good week or so (sorry for TMI) I have been suffering with a really bad odour down below. It’s not a pleasant smell at all , almost like something’s gone off !
I am generally a suffer of discharge so I do wear panty liners on a daily but I’ve noticed I’ve had some very light spotting as well on and off .
I currently have the mirena coil which I’ve had for about 3 years now so at first thought it could be a problem with that ?
I don’t have periods with the mirena so definitely not a tampon stuck or anything like that but I have also been getting stomach discomfort on and off , can sometimes feel like period pains and then other times like someone’s pinching me in different areas or just mild aches.
i will be making a doctors appointment Tomorrow but just wondered if anyone has experienced anything like this ?
my last smear test was a year ago this month which was fine. Just to add I was diagnosed with IBS last year after ruling out crohns disease etc so I do get bloating as well.
I have health anxiety so of course I’m sat here worrying but trying not to google!
