Mirena out - foul smelly blood

6 replies

I had the mirena removed and was expecting a heavy bleed, which never materialised, I just passed a light period.

Then while on holidays, I experienced a second period. About 5 days later I started passing more blood, but it was very smelly. Really terrible, and I have been passing this watery/foul bloody liquid on and off for the last two weeks. No control over it, have had to use tampons to avoid the smell being obvious.

I've been reading on line that the mirena can cause a build up of old blood and cause infection. An on line solution is to douche with vinegar to restore the correct ph balance in the vagina.

Has anyone else experinced these symptoms or tried the vinegar douche?

Er wouldn't it be better to go to the doctor and see what's going on? I wouldn't be shoving vinegar up there if it was me!

Can I ask why you had it removed? Were you getting pains or tummy aches?

I might go to the Doctor, but this discharge is lightening off. Was at heaviest 1-2 wks ago. It's ?60 to go to the doc, so I may wait and see if it has resolved itself over the next day or so.

Yes I was getting pains, to the extent that one felt like a mild contraction, so I thought it's time to get this thing out.

I'm not medicaly trained but I would have a check up with the GP.

I really think you should get it checked you don't want to make it worse
