Never had yeast infection in my life! now have recurring ones since IUD insertion. Anybody else? :(

Question

Answer

I read an academic journal article recently about this topic. Apparently the strings are a surface for the yeast to adhere, so some women can have issues with recurring yeast infections due to the IUD. I was doing research because I had my first yeast infection for the first time as well and the only thing that changed was I got an IUD a few months before.

Answer

I got my IUD (Mirena) put in 3 years ago and had it removed today! I never had any other issues other then weight gain from it! Maybe go back to the doctor? However it could just be your body reacting to the change of hormones and your uterus responding..? I would get a doctors opinion though :)

Answer

I got them a couple times after I got mine inserted and now I haven’t had any
