What Causes Lower Backache After Removal Of Mirena IUD?

I had Mirena IUD for almost the full five years, no period for a little over four. I had it removed last week and 7 days later started my period again. I used to get horrible cramping but not this time. Lots of bleeding though. I have however had such bad lower back pain that I ve been stuck in bed for two days as it s incredibly painful to stand/walk or sit. The pain is wrapping around my hips and shooting down my legs at times too. I m concerned as this has never happened to me before. It definitely feels different than any back cramps I ve had in the past with my periods. Something feels very wrong. What could it be? When should I see a doctor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pelvic inflammation can be suspected in your case. A pelvic examination by a gynecologist, swab test, and ultrasound examination might be needed to rule out your condition.

Taking antibiotic and rest will be helpful.

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