Mirena coil 4 and a half months in. Hair loss, greasy skin, spots, emotional..

[sip1]

Really not sure if the benefit (less painful periods) is worth the side effects. Every time I brush my hair, I just think 'right, that's it. I can't take it any more!' And I didn't have hair loss beforehand. My periods were extremely painful, but only for 2 days - and strong painkillers helped if I caught it in time. It hasn't helped so far with daily pain. I'm thinking it might have to be removed

What are your own experiences of the Mirena for pain management?

I didn't get on with mine, had it removed after 8 months. I had the side effects you described plus daily bleeding, it wasn't good! xxx

Oh yes, daily bleeding is the other thing I forgot to mention! Plus my periods are lasting 10 days. What have you tried since the Mirena Janine?

I'm likely to be having a hysterectomy later this year. I've tried lots of things to control my endo but it's severe and I have adeno too xxx

I'm 21, had mirena in for over a year now, I haven't had any benefit from it at all :/ I'm having a hysterectomy this year as the prostap injections really helped me.

I too have bad hair loss and oily skin, it's bloody horrible isn't it😠

Give the secretary a call or your GP and discuss it with them xx
