WHAT JUST CAME OUT OF ME?!

Question

I’ve had the Mirena IUD for about 4 months and I haven’t really had spotting or problems but last week I started getting weird cramps in my lower abdomen and in the shower all this gross gunk keeps coming out of me when I go to clean myself. I’ve been to the gyno on campus and she said it’s in the right position and stuff but this is freaking me out.

Answer

I'd get tested for an infection

Answer

I’d get tested for some sort of infection or BV

Answer

It kind of looks like you have BV (Bacterial Vaginosis). Bacterial Vaginosis is caused when too much bacteria is produced in the vaginal area. It causes your pH balance to be unsteady. 
It may also cause a cloudy discharge like so. Also, it may have a strange fish like odor to it too. It is a very common thing that a lot of women experience. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know exactly what is the cause of it. 
I would go to the doctor and get checked out just to be on the safe side! 
It’s nothing deadly. But it’s is something that needs to be examined by your physician. I’ve had it before. It comes and goes. 
If it is BV, try reframing from sweets and things that may attract bad bacteria.
