Can mirena iud cause stomach ache?
Patient: I got a Mirena IUD last Wednesday and no problem with it until about two hours ago. Ever since then I am having really, really sharp pains on the left side of my stomach, made worse by movement. I checked for my strings and either my fingers are too short to reach them or they aren't there. I know I need to contact my doctor, but is this something that can wait until the office opens tomorrow, or should I go to the hospital? Doctor: Hello, thank you for posting your query to HCM.IUD's usually do cause some pain, but the pain due to them is caused right after one gets them. If the pain dint come immediately, and is coming after a few days, there could be one of the two reasons for it:1. Either your IUD has been displaced2. Or the pain is due to some other factor and not your IUD.Did you ever feel your thread? If you did and cant feel it now, then there is a possibility of displacement of your device. Also is there any bleeding PV? If yes then dont waste time, and immediately see your doctor. If no, then you could take antacids and antispasmodics and wait for the pain to subside for a couple of hours. If that doesnt happen then you must go and see your doctor.Hope this was helpful.
