I had the mirena placed in May, went in June to have the strings checked and was told it had ripped me and given me an infection. I did the round of antibiotics. Since then however, intercourse has been painful, I ve had abdominal pain, and white tissue discharge with my urine. Upon calling my obgyn I was assured this was all a normal part of having the mirena, and there was no reason to have it removed. I am concerned about the abdominal pain, and the discharge, is it normal? Should I push to have the mirena removed?
