MIRENA can it cause odor?

[blujel]

I am 25 yrs old and never had a child.  I had been on bcpills for years and had to get a Mirena/iud, in september 05 due to having high blood pressure. I am married (so no multiple partners) but recently I have noticed after intercourse I have a discharge w/ bad odor. I have also been having light 2-week periods. I had called my gyno about the odor and got a rx and it went away, and now it has returned. When I 1st got the odor I thought that it could be possibly due to my husband and I having the flu or the 2 week period that I had just got over.  Could any one please help me w/my concern?  I have thought that my husband had cheated and gave me a std but I am unsure.  Please help. thx.

Had my mirena coil fitted in sept 2014 & it's been a nightmare from day 1!!! Haven't stopped bleeding & the cramps are horrid, also getting bad pain down leg. Now I've got this nasty smell down below!! Not nice. I'm due back at hospital on 20th jan do you think they will remove it??

All of these comments were super helpful. I have only had mirena for about 3-4 months and I am experiencing the worst odor. I too can smell it all the time and it is so embarrassing to think that other people can smell it as well. I have seen some weight gain too, despite eating clean and staying active. I just scheduled an appointment with my OBGYN.

reading all these comments and on several sites/blogs, I want to cry - I  should've known it was my body telling me something was wrong with this mirena. I kept just trucking on apologizing to my husband for the "not so fresh feeling" - lol. About 3 years of Mirena but the last yr has been the worst, it's like the bad symptoms just build up until you know its the culprit and you just want it out! Making appt tomorrow to have this evil thing removed. I too have gained weight, especially in the last yr and 1/2, horrible stink amonia/fishy you name it. My poor hubby telling me I'm ok, it's ok, but I knew it wasnt. Boy will he be happy once I feel and smell sexy again, maybe even lose some weight. And not to mention my self-esteem boost; soo looking forward to the new me. Old fashioned Pill, here I come. I have to take thyroid meds every am so what's another pill going to do. I feel so robbed, so embarrassed, so stupid for letting the Mirena mess with my insides, they belong to me and not it - Never insert any IUD, i'm convinced our bodies reject them and cause us to lose ourselves slowly until we regain the upperhand.

I just had my Mirena inserted after removing my copper IUD about three weeks ago. The foul odor started as soon as it was inserted and hasn't stopped. This is awful.

I've had it for 8 years now.   I love it.  I have not had a period since I got it.   Yes I do experience an odor, especially after sex        No weight gain for me.   It is definitely worth it I think.
