I was advised to insert Mirena alongside Sandrena gel as I started getting random slight bleeding on Utrogestan. Also, I did not get on with Utrogestan too well, it was making me tired with a brain fog, so I was skipping it about every other day.
I had a terrible time adjusting to this coil when it was first inserted for about a month ? headaches, severe tiredness, sleeping most of the time, but then it all settled and my night sleep miraculously improved.
Removing Mirena 2.5 years later was a hard decision for me because of hormonal imbalance etc... but at the same time it gave me frequent vaginal infections and consequent cystitis flare-ups, it was a vicious circle! I just had another bout of cystitis caused by increased vaginal discharge. In the end I could not take it anymore and Mirena had to go - back on Utrogestan then
Just finished my treatment with 7 days of antibiotic and 7 days of boric acid capsules vaginally. Still the swab taken at the time of Mirena removal showed gram-positive cocci!
Has anybody had personal experience of recurrent/embedded UTI with a Mirena coil? Did any of you remove your coil for this reason and did your symptoms improve afterwards? Has anybody tried Fluomizin capsules to 'sanitize' vagina?
