Hi...

Interesting to hear about the IC...probably what I had. I posted about a week ago (Mirena IUD Problems). Yes, I had painful urination and horrible itching, the latter being hard to tell exactly where it was coming from. I tested negative for both UTI and yeast infection.

I had the Mirena removed just over a month ago and have had no further problems with either painful urination or internal itching.

I hope this helps.

I had mirena inserted Jan. 4, 2007. I have had all the classic symptoms of my "body adjusting" to the iud. I have recently been seen by a urologist because of blood in my urine. I have been for sonograms of my bladder and kidneys; bloodwork; ct scans. I am now believing this is all related to the mirena.

Is removal as painful as insertion?

Hope all works out for you.

I hope you had your MIrena removed! I started to get IC after having Mirena a little over a year. How are you doing now? I had mine removed about a month ago and all is well. No more IC!

How are you all doing now? I started with symptoms of IC about a couple of months after IUD was placed I had it removed a few years ago and im still suffering...

I hate to tell you you're wrong, but they are unrelated.

Hello,
I have a very similar story, and I believe you are correct. I had the Mirena in 2009 after having my Son. I had it for two years before I was in severe pain and an ER doctor removed it (not painful btw)AT first my first doctor told me PID. Then I started seeing a new doctor and she told me it wasn't PID it was Endometriosis. This was last year in 2012 I had laprascopic surgery done, and she confirmed the ENDO and Interstitial Cystitis. I have tried everything from ELMIRON, Lupron Depot shots, bladder instillation, and here monday 8/26/13 I'll be undergoing a hysterectomy hoping that it will solve my issues.. I have always believed there is a link between all this and the IUD because before the IUD I was a healthy mom of two and I'm only 30 years old. What really scares me, Is I've been doing a lot of research on this very topic of the IUD and I'm also finding women WHO after a YEAR of using an IUD developed breast cancer. There is so much to this I hope someone takes it on and researches this for all of us in PAIN because of the IUD!

I know this was posted aged ago but did you have it removed? I am having similar problem - had my merina for 5 yrs. I just wondered if you did have it removed did your problems go away?
thank you!
