Mirena & Odor
I had the Mirena IUC inserted in Nov 07 & a year later, I had an odor appear after my period in Nov 08. I got a prescription of Metronidazole & it cleared it up. This was at the same time of my yearly exam & nothing showed up in the lab work. The odor didn't come back until six months later, in June 09 after my period. I got another prescription & it cleared it up. The same goes for the next month, July 09. The odor is so strong, I can't stand to go to the bathroom & it is effecting my sex life. I haven't changed my diet or medications. Since I haven't ever had a problem with odor, I suspect it is the Mirena, but a year after insertion? What are your thoughts?
Thank God I found this post. I want this removed from my body. What's the worst thing: to be bleeding or stinking? Of course that it's to be stinking. I never thought it could happen. No one tell us before the process and it's so unfair cause now we have to go to the hospital again to get this thing removed. I work and have 5 children. Imagine what it means to me. But it has to end cause i'm going crazy with all this discharge and this terrible odor. Thanks everyone for all of your information.
