MIRENA can it cause odor?

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.

I'm so happy I found this!! At first I thought it was because of sex but I had sex about 2 months ago and got smelly odors 2 days ago. Think it is my mirena?

Just had the mirena removed asked about the smell and was told it's a your hp levels that make the smell plus if you have a brown discharge with it you could have an infection. Tell your gp thay will give you antibiotics for it. If it carries on thay will take the mirena out.

It is March, 2015 and I have the same problem! I have had mirena for around 10 months. After a painful insertion, I didn't have many symptoms. After around 5 months, my period slowly went away. I thought mirena really was a miracle! Little did I know that I would be writing this post nearly a year later. I have been having awful, rotten, smelly, fishy, whitish, tan, sometimes pinkish, sometimes a little bloody odor that won't go away. It has been about 2 months and I have tried everything! RePhresh pills just seemed to make it worse, I tried bathing in diluted vinegar, I tried vaginal cleansers, avoided panties every time I could, and even went to my doctor and got tested for BV and other STDs. Everything came back negative! A month later I still have this smell. I think that I'm going to save myself the time and the money and just go back to the pill. Men have no idea what it's like to have a *****!
