A member asked:
Smelly brown discharge on mirena (levonorgestrel) w/low sex drive, acne and weight gain. want it out, after 3 mos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IUD: Low sex drive, acne, and weight gain could be the hormonal side effects of the Progesterone that is incorporated in Mirena (levonorgestrel) (iud). However a foul discharge should always be check out by a healthcare provider because it could be a vaginal infection. Do that first.
