Found out ihave a yeast infection and had the mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted last friday and have bad cramping for 3 days. is this normal? infection making it worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can be: Cramping and spotting are common after iud insertion. Call your doctor if this persists or worsens. It is unlikely the yeast infection is contributing to your cramping.
