Hi,

When was your last period? Is there any fever or nausea? As the IUD was removed only 4 days back, I don't think it is pregnancy. Rather, we have to consider any genital tract infection in the back ground of discharge, cramps, body pains and headache.

If there is no fever and the discharge is not foul smelling, try taking Paracetamol tablets 3 times daily after food for 3 days. This will relieve aches and pains. Also, drink enough fluids. If not getting better in 2-3 days, we can evaluate further.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
