Odour symptoms and conditions

I had the MIRENA removed yesterday. I had it for 1 month and the first sign of change to my body was odor, I stink, bad, I did not have this problem before. So when I had my 1 month appointment for the follow up I decided to take it out. This was not so easy, the Doctor was really mean to me, told me the odor has NOTHING to do with the Mirena. Now that I'm reading all these posts I realize everything that went wrong with me had to do with this Mirena, trouble sleeping, acne, mood swings, weight gain...ack! I don't need birth control because I have my tubes tied, but I needed to control my super heavy periods, but let me tell you, I would rather have long periods over all these other side effects, oh, and my cramps got so much worse. What really bothers me is how the doctors want to push this product on you like it's the best thing ever, they are lying, big time!! I'm sure they get some kind of commission from Bayer. I'm really mad, and feel like I really can't trust my doctor.

OMG! And I thought I was dying! LOL I am having the same problems... I have been hurting badly right above my stomach. I have had a lot of nausea and gas. Also, I have had problems with diarrhea for the first 2-3 months of having it. I have had cramping and frequent urges to use the bathroom and go to the bathroom about anytime I eat something. And I fell butterflies in my stomach... and sometimes flutters like I felt when I was pregnant. I was never like this before. I spot bleed a lot. I wish they would have told me that the spot bleeding could be a daily event. I would have bought stock in Tampax and Always. LOL N e ways... I told my mother about the pain I had been experiencing and she thought it was my gallbladder. I went to my doctor and they ran tests. She told me that my gallbladder was fine. I called my gyno and told her about what I had been experiencing and asked her if it was linked to the Mirena and she told me it could be... that with time my problems would get better, but she would take it, but to think about it. After reading all of your postings I believe I will call and make an appointment tomorrow. I was just telling my husband how I miss feeling normal... well like I did before the baby and the mirena. Did anyone get theirs removed? And if so did your problem resolve?
ERT

I am curious as to know if anyone else has experienced the same problems I seem to be experiencing now. I got my Mirena inserted Oct 28, 08 and bled heavily for 3 weeks. Since then I have had spotting every now and then but no period. I have cramps all the time and it feels sort of like being prego but I am not. I also have discharge all the time and it started after I got Mirena put in. I am trying to remain optimistic about this because I want it to work, will someone please give me some advice as to what I should do?
Thanks

It's now out! Not to bad a procedure, just an odd feeling, no pain etc.

The Dr said that she is sure the coil was causing my problems, headaches, anxiety, bloating etc. Finally nice to see someone believing!

She asked me about a discharge & I said it was about the same, if not a little increased with an underlying odour. She was very concerned about this & the cramps.

She felt my tummy & did an unternal prior to removal. I was very tender in spots. She did the removal & repeated the internal & I was instantly less tender! I couldn't believe it!

She said my strings were too low down, so they either weren't cut enough or my body was trying to expel the device. She did swabs as she thinks I have an infection. I have 3 lots of antibiotics to take!

She is apposed to placing the Mirena at the time of termination. She said it is hard to tell if the infection is because of the termination, or the insertion of the coil....

I fell better already, but that is probably physiological at this point. I am bleeding, but only streak as I wipe & some very mild cramping!

took cephalexin for 6 days 500mg/4xdaily, after breast reduction surgery. at first i saw no side effects, but two days in i began to lose feeling in my arms. i've heard a lot of people say they felt nauseous, which i didn't, but i woke up on the fifth day with an agonizing burning sensation in my vagina. it is now been a few days and it continues to be red and irritated, itchy, and painful. no discharge or odour, and there has been no other change than taking the cephalexin. i would not ever take it again if i can avoid it.

Few days ago I posted how awful I felt ....an extreme tiredness and generally feeling rotton!Had a good cry too!Well today I have my period well brown smelly(sorry Girls)discharge.Im presuming its my period ...I don't really know as I get spotting on and off and don't make note of the dates.Im thinking its only been 3 weeks since my last though!!!Im in good form now although still feel bloated.Im presuming it was pmt I had??????
Ive never suffered with that before ,even when on the pill for 8 years.
I was 100% getting it removed earlier this week but now Im thinking Ill keep a diary and after a couple of months decide.....
Although...gut instinct ....get it out!!
Now Im thinking why has this discharge got an odour....I don't have symptoms of thrush...and I have only one sexual partner,my husband!Gee....im still confused...yes confusion might be another side effect....Oh NO!!!!

I am a 34 yr old mom of 2 and have had my Mirena for 4 and 1/2 years. I actaully have been having a great experience, but again, have the same weight gain issues with almost no loss, no matter what. MY BIG QUESTION: has anyone else experienced mysterious vaginal discharge and symptoms? Starting about a year ago, I began having mystery discharge and have been to 7 different doctors who have tested for everything under the sun, and FOUND NOTHING. they can see it, keep giving me yeast treatments. etc, but in 2 or 3 months, it is right back. There is a pungent fish odor, especially after sex with my hubby, which Dr's have been saying is normal... MAYBE NORMAL FOR THEM, not me!! I actually thought it was due to a lack of hormones now that my IUD is ending is life.. However, I did have a couple of crazy panic attacks, which I have never had, the dryness for sex and friction is intense, and my hair has been thinning, which I thought was just me... Can anyone let me know if you've had the vaginal symptoms... I know no one wants to talk about it, but I have to ask!!
