Hi,

You are likely to have these symptoms because MIRENA has a life of 5 years and may be hormonal fluctuation occurring.

You need to get examined for the possibility of displaced MIRENA or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Consult a gynecologist and get investigated accordingly(USG and urine examination).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
