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.

I have had the mirena for over a yr now and I have had the worst time with it. I had my period for 6months straight and i cramp so badly that it causes me to double over... I also get a odor and thought that it was just me being an over reacter but then my bf said that he could notice it too... The only reason I have kept it in is bc it seems to be the only bc that has actually worked for me :(

i've had my mirena june of this year would be 5 years i have to get it taking out the reason you are having the odor cause i have the same thing and my doctor told me before i had the IUD put in what it causes. But did you have a period with mirena cause i dont and thats why your having the odor cause your period is gone. Of course all women should know that your period cleanes your out if you dont have one then you get the odor

I have read all of thes comments and questions, I too have the mirena and got it 3 years ago after i had my son. thinking it would be the easiest to deal with, but ive learned its not the odor, a lil pain in my abdomen and the discharge is emberrasing! Im currently taking a medical assistant class and my teacher told me that it was my mirena and the oder may be the fact that its been inside me and may be pushing itself slowly against the wall, so like when you go to the doctor and they do a yeast infection check they scrap the inside, so it could be doing the same while having sex. If taking it out is my best bet the im going to get it out but i really wish there was another way! IF THERE ARE DOCTORS READING THIS PLEASE GIVE US ANSWERS!

Hi, I had the mirena fitted in july 2010 and the last two weeks I have been getting a very bad odor and after sex with my partner the smell has been fishy I went to my GP to have it removed it took two doctors to try and remove it in the end they gave up an told me it had inbeded its self! I then had to go to the hospital that night an have it removed! I am now waiting on my results to see if it has coursed an infection. But I would not advise any one to have it fitted.

I had Marina for two years following my first pregnancy. It took a long time to adjust to and after about two months I did not notice, although I did have to have string trimmed. I had it removed and WAITED two months on purpose and got pregnant right away. Had a healthy pregnancy and baby and went to get the same IUD. The insertion was a breeze and have not noticed it at all since. there is a slight odor but the smell only after intercourse and tissue of vagina is changing every day. I just use it as a reason to take a nice long bath and then am fine until my husband corners me again ;)
