I have had an IUD since November 2020 and since then I have had yellow vaginal discharge that looks like egg whites but has no odor, is this normal?

Question

copper IUD Hello, I have had this discharge since the IUD was installed and I have the same sexual partner as before the IUD was put in with whom I have always used a condom even since I have an IUD. I have no pain or difficulty urinating but I have a sharp pain during sex that persists since I have the IUD and prevents me from finishing the relationship... Thank you very much, have a nice day .

Hello, Did you have sex without the use of a condom with a new partner that preceded the onset of yellowish discharge? If yes and it was a regular partner, was this the first time a condom was not used? Have you noticed any difficulty urinating? Do you have pain during sex? Yellow discharge is sometimes normal in some women but can also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection. These infections often have no symptoms. The answer to the above questions will allow me to tell you what to do 😊 Carl Potvin, pharmacy student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist Your symptoms are not typical of an STI and there are few risk factors, but a medical evaluation would be safer to rule out this possibility. The doctor will also be able to investigate the cause of your pain during sex. I hope I have answered your question! Carl Potvin, pharmacy student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
