Can Mirena IUD Cause HSVII Outbreaks And Yeast Infections?
Hi! I just had the Mirena Iud placed at the beginning of last month. Since then I have had 5 HSVII Outbreaks and 2 yeast infections. I have had HSVII for 11 years and never had this problem. Actually... this happened the last time I tried to take low dose oral Birth Control Pills. My GYN says that there is no corrolation between the placement of the device and my episodes. Sorry to say but I dont believe it! Is there any research that could support, or refute, the possibilty of increased HSV occurences while taking Birth Control? Now... my boyfriend and I are very sexually active people (only with each other and there is no possibilty of any other std) and I know that that can cause an up surge in occurences. It just seems like a a very strange coincidence.
