Can someone please shed some light! Please!

I have endometriosis, and the mirena coil fitted. I am 21 years old.

I went to the loo earlier for a pee, and some tissue paper got caught in the strings of the mirena (strings are too long, GP is aware).

However, I tried to detangle the tissue paper but accidentally pulled on my strings. I felt and heard a pop - followed by some brief pain.

This passed almost immediately, however, now I have discomfort and feel a little sick. Should I be worried?

Definitely phone somewhere and ask for some advice I had trouble with the coil and ended up having to have it taken out only 3 days after having it please make sure you call somewhere it’s not worth suffering over x

I went to the GP today about it. They had a look and have booked me in Friday to have it removed and another one inserted. I bled for ages after the exam. Thank you for checking up on me xx
