I am 27 had my Mirena inserted May 05 as I could no longer take the pill and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. It's known as a preventative for the spreading of endometriosis due to the lack of menstrual bleeding. I've not had menstrual bleeding since August 05 and not suffered from any side effects. I thought it was the best contraceptive ever invented, so happy with it.To think no periods, cramps, remembering to take the pill and not to forget how much money I've saved over the past years by not having to buy contraception or female toiletries. How ever I've had four UTI's since the Mirena was inserted. I never suffered from UTI's before the mirena was inserted. I have not changed my hygiene practises, fluid intake and I'm having less intercourse. So is it caused by the mirena??? I can't be sure but I'm am very suspicious. Think I'll consult my Gynecologist

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?
