I just had Mirena put in last week. The day it was put in I was still bleeding heavily from my period. By the time I got home I was not bleeding at all. I have had constant lower back pain and now have stringy blood and small blood particles in my urine. I have no blood flow on a pad. Is this normal? And will the back pain stop?
Hallow Dear, Getting IRENA inserted during phase of bleeding is not a very good idea. You should have got bleeding controlled by progesterone or waited for stoppage of bleeding before getting it inserted. IRENA in an intrauterine device which contains Progesterone. Slow release of this progesterone does bring down the uterine bleeding. However, because of intrauterine intervention while inserting it during the phase of bleeding, there are chances of infection. Now your stingy bloody discharge along with low backache is highly suggestive of infection.  Please report to the Gynecologist. You will require a course of antibiotics and maybe you might have to get the device removed for infection. I hope this helps you.
