Hi sophieJ
I know it is all a bit embarrassing but if you are sore and are worried about the discharge then I would see your GP or gynae to have things checked. It is very normal to have some bleeding or spotting for some weeks after having the Mirena fitted. I do wish the medical profession would take just a little time to explain what to expect after prescribing drugs or giving us something like a Mirena - to just fit a Mirena and let a women go off not knowing what to expect is soooo wrong
.
I had a Mirena for over 4 years and I found it was the best option for me at the time.
The discharge might be a bit of thrush or infection that can be easily treated - this would be very common after having a hysterescopy.
As CLKD says the soreness could just be as a result of the procedure but again it could be because of thrush, infection or early stage atrophy. You could apply some Multi Gyn Actigel or Hylaofemme that would lubricate things bit and this helps to keep vaginal infections away.
Have you had the Mirena fitted for a particular reason e.g. because of excessive bleeding?
The Mirena releases a small amount of progesterone which will often control excessive bleeding but will also reduce any bleed you do have. In time you may not get any bleed at all - which is great. Your cycle will still be controlled by your own hormones so I think this will depend on your oestrogen level. The plus of the Mirena is that if you need some oestrogen to help with flushes and other meno symptoms you can just use patches or Oestrogel.
I hope that helps. DG x
