Pain In Back, Abdomen, Brown Discharge. Negative Pregnancy Test. Have Mirena IUD. What Could This Be?
Hi im 27 years old recently had to make a trip to the emergency room with terrible back pain and pain in my upper and lower abdominal region. I was told I had a kidney/Urinary tract infection.. That was two weeks ago and im still having awful uncontrollable back pain and now im having brown discharge which I have never had in the past. My pregnancy test the ER was negative and I have the Mirena IUD. what could this be and should i return to the emergency room?
You did not mention if you did receive treatment for the urinary tract infection you were diagnosed of. If you did not take antibiotics, it is imperative to meet the doctor for a prescription.
Brown discharges are not a normal feature and you need to be investigated for a probable endometritis or inflammation of the uterine lining with possible removal of the IUD.
Hope this helps you. Best regards Dr Achuo
