Truth is i am still getting yeast infections :( still after i had it out! I feel destined to be the queen of yeast forever :( please some one read this and tell me what to do! Also the drs said my infection had nothing to do with my iud! But than why are we all commenting on this!?!

I have an IDU can't remember if it is mirena but I do get all those things you have mentioned, I have also went to the doctor last October bit was told I have no infections and was given a cream to treat it, but I am still having the foul scent just like you said

I've had this problem also.I have had so many yeast infections and I'm being treated for BV now as I speak. This is so tiresome. I'm also a very clean person,literally OCD so this is driving me crazy. Mine is coming out and I'm getting my tubes tied!!

Hi I have had BV quite a few times, never have had these problems before mirena, GYN told me it can't be caused from mirena, but reading and researching I'm hearing differently?? It is so frustrating and embarassing sexually, my boyfriend of three years. Idk what to do should I have it removed.

I have my second Mirena IUD in and at the last year before getting the second one out. The first one, I had NO issues at all but now for the past 18 months, I have been battling Bacterial Vaginosis, Vaginal Infections and Yeast Infections. I am so tired of getting these infections. I will be going in to get this IUD out and waiting a while to get another one if I do at all.

The same thing has been happening to me! I've never had any type of infection like this until I got the IUD, this is the 5th time in less then a year. Its embarrassing and gross. I finished the metro-gel last week, used it for five days the infection seemed to be gone a few days after but now its back. I'm getting it removed tomorrow!

I have had the Mirena for 2 years and loved it. Then, within the last 2 months I have had repeated vaginitis and yeasts infections, which I have never had before. I am going to have it removed.

I feel so much better hating from you ladies. I have been on and it comes back. Lately I've tried natural remedies so I'm bout constantly taking antibiotics. Also I'm nursing so I don't want to take antibiotics religiously. I'm definitely getting this iud out! By the time I get rid of the infection I'm on my period then when u get off I'm back to another infection ! It's so embarrassing. My husband is noticing the odour too. I'm gonna do the pill!

I have had my Mirena for almost 5yrs now and I've always had a yeast infection or Bv. The smell is horrible and after sex your so embarrassed by the smell I know I am and like you I'm a very clean person.

I have had mine for 9 months I am on my sixth BV treatment. And have had four yeast infections. I am going to call tomorrow and get it removed. I cannot take the pill so I am not sure what I will use instead. Any ideas?

I got BV for the first time months ago, and it came back like it never left. I got my Mirena removed days after being diagnosed a second time. I think that device can hold icky germs. I used the gel to clear up the BV and NOW I have a fun yeast infection that reviews had warned me about. But what to do? Damned if I did, damned if I didn't.
BV is a dirty b***h and yeast infections are it's evil twin.
To hell with these ditches betwix our legs!!

This exact thing has been happening to me. I can't take it anymore! I'm getting this IUD out. I'm done. Thanks for your story. I'm glad I wasn't the only person trying to deal with this.
