Re: Does the Mirena cause yeast infections

I'm still suffering with mild symptoms. I'm still moody and slightly depressed. I know my emotional issues are hormonal because there is nothing to be doom and gloom about. Still having some Acne issues. The Acne was unbearable with the Mirena...a new cystic pimple everyday. I'm 31 but have zits like I'm 15. I've only developed two pimples since removal vs pimples every other day.
I hoped that I would get instant relief after removal. It's going to take some time for our body to sort itself out.
I had a period with some clotting after removal that lasted about a week. I'm still spotting though.
As for the yeast, I got an infection shortly after removal. I'm still having some discharge with a metallic smell. Though it's not as bad as when I had the Mirena...my vagina stayed a mucosal pit.

Pink, have you noticed a metallic smelling discharge????? That has been the most bizarre. I have never had this problem ever.

I wouldn't even know I was curding sometimes until I had sex. I know this is TMI, but my boyfriend would ask what is the cottage cheese discharge. Talk about embarrassing and trying to explain that it's not harmful to him OR a STD. None of the doctors (naturopath and MD) understand or have been able to provide long term relief. No one has tried to figure out why this is happening. I've been given herbs and diflucan and have used plenty Monistat. I'm still battling to reclaim a healthy vagina.
Try Rephresh. It seems to help. It restores a balanced ph to the vagina making it harder for yeast and other infections to thrive.
I'm trying a new Probiotic by a company called Source of Life and the name of the product is Primal Defense and will use the Rephresh every three days. I'll keep you posted. Let me know how you're doing. I thought I was the only one suffering with this type of issue. We're going to get well. Tweet
