If you can see your Mirena strings outside your vagina, you should do the following:
I've never seen a Mirena with the strings ripped off accidentally. If you want to get rid of the strings for reasons of privacy about your contraceptive choice, contact your health care provider to have the strings trimmed so that they disappear. This choice makes the removal slightly more difficult, but is a relatively common procedure with which your GYN will be familiar.
The "strings" can sometimes poke the tip of the man's penis during intercourse.
Yes, it is possible to pull out Mirena accidentally. Tell your partner to avoid "playing" with the strings. Sex or penile contact (or even finger contact) are not going to pull out the IUD accidentally.
If you can't feel the strings, that doesn't mean the Mirena is "lost." See your health care provider for an ultrasound to confirm the IUD is in place. If it's at the top of your uterus and you're happy on the IUD, there's no need to remove it. If the IUD is not in place, then you need to get a new IUD or find an alternate method. If you would like to stop the IUD, your health care provider normally can locate the strings in the endocervical canal without difficulty, usually just by using a q-tip as used during a pap smear. If the strings are missing, be sure to use a backup method of birth control until your health care provider can confirm that the IUD is in place.
Mirena doesn't cause bleeding with urination. See your health care provider, as you probably have an infection.
A Mirena in place will not cause pain. See your health care provider to have your symptoms evaluated.
You are supposed to be able to feel two strings when checking for them. If you do not feel them the IUD might have came out or the string have receded into your uterus
Signs that an IUD is not in the right place include absent strings, longer or shorter strings, bleeding after sex or discomfort during sex, the ability to feel the end or the device at the opening to your cervix, and that old classic, and IUD in your underwear.
Mirena does not cause infections.
A doctor will remove the Mirena if you are pregnant it could harm the baby. By getting an IUD, you agree to: -have the IUD removed -if the pregnancy is viable, your doctor will discuss your options after removing the IUD.
