Issues after having mirena coil removed

[Bonbon9921]

I had the mirena coil in for nearly 2 years when it started to become uncomfortable. I had it removed last summer, nearly a year ago now. Firstly, having it removed was horrendous. It got stuck and the nurse just yanked. I felt like my innards were coming out she said that was normal. I was generally paralyzed in pain for at least 2 mins on the table. Nearly a year on and I'm still having lots of aching and pains. My periods are getting heavier, more painful and are affecting my mental health in a big way. Sex is still quite uncomfortable, and I have also been trying for a baby to no avail as of yet. Is all of this linked? The Drs just tell me it's all normal.

Any advise or own stories welcome

Dear Bonbon,

Sorry to hear you're going through this. Sounds like you've been having a very difficult time this past year since the Mirena was removed. Can I ask if the IUS was put in for a gynaecological reason (e.g. fibroids, heavy periods, etc), for contraception or both?

If the Mirena was used to control or treat a gynae condition, it will often 'play up' when the IUS is removed. So IMHO I don't think the Mirena is to blame for your current issues; the painful sex, heavy periods and difficulty with conception may be from the underlying gynaecological problem/s.

I know it's difficult at this time to see your GP, but it sounds like you'll need to persuade them to refer you for a gynae assessment once lockdown restrictions are eased.

Rgds,

Adhari
