Mirena coil and thrush

[Funfuntimes12]

Really long complicated story short had a coil in 2020 for HRT replaced with another one in August. Had pelvic discomfort so had a scan and swabs everything was as it should be excepted I had thrush this was only discovered 2 months after the problem started as I didn’t have classic signs. I’ve tried to keep the coil as I was scared to try utrogestan. I had the coil out last Monday (26th Jan) had a bleed for a week and now that’s stopped I still feel a bit sore just on my outer area and I just wondered how long it can take to feel normal again does it take a while to settle after removing the coil? I’ve got a follow up in 5 weeks just wondered if anyone had any experience of this? I’ve started utrogestan continuously as I’m 48 and my last spotting with my coil was July to be reviewed if I get irregular bleeding. I’m just fed up of the thrush situation and feel like I’m never going to be normal down there again!

I had persistent thrush with a copper coil. When I had it taken out the thrush went away for good. I

half my message got lost! Basically I was gaslit by my GP and a gynae who said they weren’t connected but if no one logs the connection then there will never be any evidence will there!

So for me: couple of years of persistent and sometimes agonising lthrush with the coil. Had it removed and 5+ years no thrush

but yes there was a period of settling down to being OK again. Can’t remember how long but hope you are feeling better down there soon

thanks for replying that gives me hope. I’m just so fed up with it all. I suppose I need to give it chance to ‘rebalance’ after removal? It’s been a nightmare thankfully the doctor I’m seeing now did say you can have one and it’s great and the next one can be a nightmare she said you just don’t know. She didn’t dismiss me unlike the previous one!
