Ok about 9 mths ago I started to get this pain in my groin area and lots of cramps in my lower stomach. I have the Mirena IUD also. Anyways the pain has been getting worse and worse like everyday allday and then last week I started to bleed clots. At my last CT scan they found a cyst on my ovary and it was about 2-4 cm. The pain is only brought on when standing or walking. I have had lots of ultrasounds and ct's done and they finally found this. COuld the pain be from the cyst? I have felt nausea and all the symptoms above. If it was there before why wasn't it found? What can be done now? Also my blood work showed elivated white count? PLEASE HELP. I have dr tomorrow and I am freaking out and I just don't feel good. Also I have been having fevers off and on.
I have had the IUD for 2 yrs and the pains started 9 mths ago. Could that be it? If so why would it wait over a yr to start. TIA

the white cells mean that you have an infection, and the fever also is a sign of infecton. I would have the IUD removed asap and then go from there. The pain could be from the IUD< the infection or the cysts. The cysts can cause pain, but not likely based on your discription. I wouldnt wait to go to the dr, I would go to the ER now and get this seen about. Good Luck

Elevated white blood cells means your body if fighting an infection.
You can get an infection from the insertion of an IUD(non sanitary reasons)(due to having it 2 years ago this probably isn't it). Also if you have multiple partners or your partner having multiple partners. Its alot harder to treat an infection with an IUD. Cyst are very common with the IUD but they usually dissolve within the 1st 2-3 months. You also experience them with out the IUD periodically.
I would def talk this over with your DR. and tell them you think you might have an infection. Due to having had US I would doubt that its moved the US would have picked it up
