Could have a mirena (levonorgestrel) increase the occurs and reoccur of bacteria vagnosis?

Probably Not: Progesterone in birth control pills or Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) can actually decrease the incidence of bacterial vaginosis. Minera (progesterone IUD) likely would have similar effects.
