Anyone experience vaginal swelling??? I'm kind of freaked out. ...

Hi,
I had the mirena placed 2 weeks ago and I just had it removed on thursday.
I had tried to have intercourse with my significant other and it hurt extremely bad. I too had lots of swelling. I went to the doctor and had it checked out. Turned out I had gotten 3 infections from having it placed. They put me on medicine and then the next day I had contractions 3 to 4 minutes apart as if I was in labor. I went and had the mirena removed immediately. It turns out that your not supposed to get the mirena if you hany type of immunity disorder and I have a hypoactive thyroid which is considered one. I hope this helps.

hey, i think i would go to the er for that, just to be sure. I've had mine for almost a year now and i've never had anything like that.

i'm a labor and delivery nurse, and i just read your post- it sounds like a uterine prolapse, have your GYN check it out. i doubt that has anything to do with the IUD and a lot more to do with going through childbirth

I just had mirena placed inside me today. The dr told me to check to feel for the strings, but i tried to feel for them, but its so swollen down there that i can not even get my pinky in to check... So I decided to search the net.... wondering if I should try to get into my dr tomorrow... or let the swelling go down????????
