Pain and bleeding are the leading reasons for removal. An FHI study involving 10,000 women using the Copper T found 5 percent had the device removed because of pain or bleeding. While significantly better than earlier IUDs that are no longer widely used, copper-bearing IUDs cause an increase in menstrual bleeding. This usually is not a medical problem. Typically, bleeding declines after several cycles. Prolonged and excessive bleeding is rare. Because prolonged and excessive bleeding increases the risk of anemia, women who experience these side effects should use iron tablets. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, may reduce pain and bleeding.

I think you should go back to your Doc and ask him all the questions you have asked here, get him to explain it all to you and try going to a Well Woman clinic, why you should go to a gynecologist is beyond me, wrong end for a start, why worry as you are, get to the Doc and get your self checked and ASK those questions again  !!!

Some guy asked if all girls could squirt cu.m from their vaginas... i know he was just loooking for kicks but I liked that question.  I've always wondered if ANY woman could do this... now I know someone can.

I LOVE the mirena.  I had similar complications, and read a few of the published medical studies (on PubMed).  It made me feel a lot better after finding out that most women had spotting and that over 30% stopped having normal periods entirely within about a year.  That would be worrisome except for the 99.9% effectiveness. (They don't call it reversible sterilization for nothing!)

I think you should discuss the matter with your gynecologist for professional advice. Please do not try to self diagnose the situation because you never know if it is a problem that you should seek professional treatment for.

I would have to guess that it would be just like a women who was not in menses. \n\nIf you are talking about products she probably would use a Tampon instead of a pad like when women go swimming during menses.\n\nAtleast that is what I would do.

I have the Mirena IUD inside me too!  It's a form of birth control.  My Dr. told me that everything is normal, periods are normal, bleeding is normal, so I guess going through menopause would still be a yes.

The Copper IUD works this way: copper ions change the content of tubal and endometrial fluids which impairs tubal transport and function of the sperm. \nThe Mirena (with hormones) works this way: impair tubal motility and thicken cervical mucus, making it impossible for sperm to pass through.\nBoth IUDs also work by imitating a foreign body in the uterus making the lining unfavorable to implantation.

I use the Mirena IUD and I love it. I had it put in 6 weeks after I had my 3 year old.  The only side effect that I've had is that I don't have a period just occasional spotting. (Great side effect if you ask me!) I think the chances of you getting pregnant with the mirena are so minimal that I wouldn't worry about it.

Urination can not make an IUD come out because the urinary tract is not passing through the uterus. The uterus is where the IUD is implanted. It can, however, fall out during a period. It is easy to check though. The IUD has strings attached to it. Keep an eye on the strings. If you notice they get shorter it could mean that the IUd has become embedded. If the strings are missing then the IUD may have been expelled during a cycle. If you miss a period while on an IUD, you may want to take a pregnancy test. If you have any concerns about your IUD, call the clinic where you got it. The longer the IUD remains in place, the less likely it is that the uterus will reject the IUD and expel it. \nAn IUD has a 99.2-99.9% of effectiveness when used properly. It does not,however, prevent the transmission of STDs. \nHope this helps!

Your OB-GYN can insert an IUD and you don't have to worry about pregnancy for 5 to 10 years depending on the type used.  It can be removed in the doctor's office without any surgery and little discomfort if you decide you want to become pregnant later.
