Does Mirena IUD Cause Bloating, Constipation And Brown Vaginal Discharge?

hello I have the mirena IUD for the past 3 years no problems at all. For the past week I have been bloated, constipated, tired and cramping so much. Since I have the mierna I don t get a period, but this last month I only had brown discharge. Could I be pregnant?

welcometo hcm,
I really appreciate your concern,
No
Dear,

No mirena does not cause constipation.

Also since you are gettting constipated once a month. Mirena is not the reason.

Please drink lots of water and high fibre diet.

Do you have tender breasts? If yes then the brownish discharge can be menses. For that please go to your physician urgently thogh the chances are rare but you may have misplaced IUD.
Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions,
Thanks. Regards.
