I experience the same thing with the Mirena the fishy smell and light discharge. I was in wal mart by the feminine products and noticed they now have pills for the BV and inserts to keep in from coming back. The pills are maybe 6 dollars and the inserts are like 22 dollars it's alot cheaper than running back and forth to the doctor getting treated and constantly having to get prescriptions. And also you can try the rephresh products to balance your Ph and keep from having yeast infections and BV issues. Might I add that other than this problem I have no other issues with the Mirena but before it I never had a odor problem or infection issues. I'm glad im protected from being pregnant (i use condoms also) but the odor alone makes me very insecure. I hope my post helps.

Ok, so since I went to the doctor and got my prescription for the BV, I noticed symptoms getting better, I had to fly on a plane back to do my work rotation, but as soon as I got off the plane I went to the washroom and I had quite a bit of a clear kinda creamy discharge, a bit of an odor to it, more like a strong smelling urine, and I've been getting headaches, still some minor abdominal pain, feels like my lymph nodes on the right side between my leg crease and pubic area are tender or sore sometimes and occasionally on the left. Tender above the hood area and some stinging, like a light needle prick here and there. My urine has been darker for a while but my doctor said one of the mess I was taking would cause that, but I'm not sure for how long. Ive been done the 7day antibiotic for the BV for a week now. Should this be happening or has it come right back? Is it something else? I'm so afraid and embarrassed about all this and I'm in the middle of the bush so I can't go to my doc or a hospital. I was getting some bumps but flesh colored, they did not hurt to touch or have any itching but one of them kind of felt like a pimple forming but then just disappeared within a day or two. If it was even a bump or just a sore spot I don't really know for sure. Maybe it's just stress. I was so stressed before I could not sleep and I felt like I could never laugh without wanting to cry. I know you can do things to your body if you stress like that, I'm not as stressed anymore but more have the feeling of worry or doom sometimes. I will update again when I get home and see my doctor again.

Hi there. Your story sounds just like mine. I have been having this fishy smell for years, I have beento the GYN office nurmiorus times trying to figure out what was wrong with me. My GYN swears its not the IUD doing it but I never had this problem till I got it. I am having to call the doctor office every month for antibiotics to take the smell away. I take my bath every day and even bathe in antibiotic soap. Yes it is very embarrasing and makes me feel disgusted. Thanks for this. I will be getting mine taken out within the next couple months.

has anyone had thier mirena taken out? and if so have the bacterial infections gone away? ive never had these issues before and now its ruining my life. i had a feeling it was the mirena but now i atleast have other women to say that they share the same exact problems. thank you so much for this. i am so relieved. but i still would like to know if anyone has had thier IUD taken out and if so have thier infections stopped. I never had any problems until they put this thing in. now im aggravated I got it. this should not be on the market at all.

Thank you for posting this. You may have relived me from so much stress I have been having. I think i need to get mine take out ASAP i have never had so much problem since its been put in. Do you know if the GP can do it on the spot when you see them? Or do you need to be put under?

Thank you for posting this. I think you have relived me from so much stress I have been having about this. I have never had so many problems in this area until I had the Mirena inserted. Does it affect you getting pregnant, having these problems? Can you doctor take it out with out being put under and does it hurt?

Thank You for your post I got my Mirena out yesterday and I am feeling relieved already. My Obgyn that put it in keeps saying they can't cause infections. They obviously don't know what they are talking about because several women are experiencing life altering changes with their IUD. We should all contact a lawyer and bring a class action suit against Mirena so that other women won't have to go through these problems.

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS INFO. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY. BECAUCE I NEVER HAD THIS SMELL UNTIL ABOUT 5 MONTHS I HAVE ONE ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT FOR "BV" BUT THE SMELL IS STILL THERE NOT AS STRONG BUT MY HUSBAND NOTICE AFTER SEX.

I am having the same problem. I have had my Mirena for 4 1/2 years and I keep getting Yeast Infections. Ever since I had it put it and have Yeast infection problems. My Dr keeps giving medication and it is not working. I have tried the pill and creams. I feel my Yeast Infection has not gone away. I asked my Dr can the IUD be the cause of my Yeast Infections and the said "No". I am going to see my OB/GYN the end of this month and I am going to have them remove mine and see if that makes a difference.

Take Probiotics!! I have had recurring yeast infections since I got my mirena, but if I take my probiotics faithfully, they stay at bay! :)
