Can Tract Infection Harm IUD ?
Hi,My name is Lonesha. I've or should I say I assume I have a tract infection because of the frequent bathroom runs,foul smell,and discharge but my question is Ive had it for over a week with no treatment and I just got my IUD a little over a moth ago,could this infection mess up anything with IUD?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
IUD function would not be affected by the infections but IUD are associated with an increased risk of developing infection.
Urinary tract infections can present with some or all of the following symptoms: frequency of urination, change in the odour or colour of urine, urgency, discomfort on urination, abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, loss of appetite.
You need to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment and treatment which includes antibiotics.
I hope this helps
