Seriously you have describe what I have going on exactly. I am also 22 years old. Except for I have also been having serious acne ever since it was put in. I've never had acne up until I've had this. I also never get my period anymore which I'm not sure if that could also be a reason for the acne and odor smell during sex. I think I might need to take it out.

Hi yes I have had bv almost every month along with a year infection for almost a year. It's ridiculous. I've been on the mirena for almost 3 years and it seems like the longer I'm on it the more and more I get bv and a yeast infection. Did you have it removed or is it a stronger prescription my doctor can prescribe to kill off the bacteria for more than a month?!!

Thank god I came across these articles!! I thought I was crazy.. I never had these problems until I got the Mirena! An infection occurring every couple weeks is not ok! I'm laying here miserable with one now :( Thank you all for sharing.. I think it's time to reconsider my options!!!

I too AM among the many women that have had this disgusting vile older I thought something was wrong with me I've been to the doctor twice both times they said nothing was wrong and also I've tried dishing that does not help its to the point now where I'm going to get this IUD removed because this folder is disgusting especially when you go to the restroom and especially after sex with a partner I feel grossed out and I'm so embarrassed by it but I'm going to get this thing removed by any means necessary doctors should tell us that there's a possibility that this can happen to us before we have this thing inserted I was not told of any order that would arise the only owner I was told about was that it may be from bleeding not anything else I hope this helps other women as well the only thing I've been able to do is abstain from having sex to keep the odor down but I am planning to get this thing removed as soon as possible

I can't recall how many BV's I have had with the Mirena. I just got my IUD taken out today and was told that I had another BV. He gave me something new, a one time cream, last for 5 days then he wants me to use another vaginal gel 2x a week for 3 months to help clear my BV. I'm so happy to have the iud removed and praying that I start to feel normal again after I finish the 3 month treatment

I have been told for five years that all my female problems was related to my diabetes. This has been a strain on my marraige and our sex life. I shower and I am to a very clean person. I am a person who loves to swim and l am very active. It is so humiliating to watch my husband gage to the point of throwing up after sex and says " I think you have another infection ". It's to the point I don't wNt to even have sex anymore because once the meds clear it up I know I'll get another one as soon as we have sex again or if my bottom touches the water in a tub,pool, lake ex... Like I said I've been told it was from my high sugars from diabetes. I'm glad I came across this post of yours. It's coming up five years and will be removed and I will find another way for birth control. Thank you

Hello - I know you posted this a while ago but if you had the IUD taken out - did it stop the smell? I am in agreement that it is such a convenient form of BC but I just can't bear the constant combination of thrush / BV and having to wear panty liners all the time.

Same exact problem especially each month round the time I should be getting my period so sick if it. Tired of taking Flagyl and Diflucan and other creams to insert

Whats weird about me is this is my 3rd IUD. Just recently I've had the same smell come from out of no where I Never get yest infections maybe one in my whole adult hood. But my GYN did a check from std to bacterias and HIV . Everything came up negative. The smell comes once a month I was assuming it was a change in hormones and possibly because I have irregular periods this was the smell of old bood or what ever lining leaving my body. Long story short . This is a very embarrassing situation and my va jay jay never had a stinch before. Is it tru it has to be removed?

You explained my situation exactly. I'm uncomfortable most of the time and have never felt less sexy. It will be a shame to waste the iud but u gave to know if it is what is responsible for my by and yeast infections

Wow, this just helped me so much. I had my Mirena inserted at 17, and am now 22 and married to the same guy I was with at the time. Since I got it I have had nothing but problems, yeast infections which I had never had, the exact same bacteria infection you are referring to every single time I go for a check up. The doctor always scares me half to death by acting like he's worried it's an std then sends off a test panel and it comes back as the bacteria infection. Every.single.time. Not once has he told me it could be from the iud, even though this whole time deep down I've known it's had to be. I've also had pain during sex to where I've laid in the fetal position and cried afterwards because it hurts so bad, that of which my gyno claims is just from minor syst it may cause. So glad to know I'm not the only one with these issues.
