Experienced Heavy Periods After Mirena Inserted, Frequent Urination, Pressure And Strong Urge. Why ?

I had mirena inserted over a month and a half ago. My period came and
Went with hardly any issues. This was great seeing that I have always
Experienced very heavy periods. However, my next period is due in a week
And I have been experiencing frequent urination. I urinate and after 2 minutes
I feel pressure and a very strong urge to urinate again. Should I take mirena out
Or wait to see after my period comes?

Hi,
I feel that you should see your gynecologist for a physical exam to ensure that the IUD is in position. You should also get a serum beta-hCG assay to exclude/confirm pregnancy as well as urinalysis. You should get the device removed immediately if either you are pregnant or if the device has been displaced. If it is neither and there is some urinary infection, you should get it treated and the device may be left intact if you wish so. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

OBGYN Dr. Rubee Khattar's  Response
Hi dear,
your symptoms seems to be due to urine infection which presents itself in form of frequency of urination associated with urgency and pain.It has nothing to do with mirena insertion. So, dont be in a haste to get it removed
Kindly get a urine routine and culture done to confirm and get treatment accordingly.
