What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge And Abdominal Pain After Placing Mirena?

I have had the mirena for 2 1/2 years. After having it for 1 or so my periods ended. I no longer have periods. Ever since it has been placed I have had abdominal pain and now I am having thickish brown discharge. It started on 1/4/16. Its enough to cover the crotch part of my underwear and on toilet paper everytime I wipe. It s now 1/6/16. No strong odor. Slight vaginal itch. Recently checked for stds and all tests came back negative. Please help I need to know what is causing the discharge and what I should do about it.

Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Mirena is a progesterone contain intrauterine device, long term contraceptive and reversible in action.
It make the cervical mucus thick and make uterus unfavorable for implantation.
Following are the side effect:
1. Irregular menstruation
2. Cramp pain
3. Dizziness and headache
4. Infection: most common gonorrhoea and chlymadia which lead to Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
It generally occur 1 to 2 months after insertion.
I think it may be hygiene problem and dematitis
1.Tablet cetrizine 5 mg BD orally
2. Maintain hygiene
3. Wash vagina 4-5 times in a day with warm salted water
4. Wear pure cotton innerwear
Hope this may help you.
