I am flabbergasted to read your posting.

I had Mirena inserted Dec 06. Aside from the wt gain, teenage spots (I'm 46!!), CONSTANT RAVENOUS HUNGER, and generally feeling tired out all the time..........I have since Sept 08 been treated every few weeks for UTI's. Last month, I had to go into hospital for some investigations because I'd been on antibiotics for so long. The tests they did on my renal system came back normal....no problems. Now, you've got me wondering. Is there anyone else out there who has unaccountable uti's? I have had to put up with endless lectures from my condescending GP (a man!) who has advised me to think about my personal hygiene!! Wiping front to back and all that. I told him, I've been attending to my own toilette since I was approximately 2yrs old. Nothing's changed. I am rarely sexually active as my partner is away 2 weeks out of every month.... could it be associated with Mirena? Anyone else?

I didn't suffer UTI's but it seems likey, from your posts. Too much of a coincidence!
