Mirena coil and cramps strong as contractions. Reason? Too little uterus

Hello everyone. I want to share with you my experience with mirena coil. I have endometriosis and i was asked on pre-operation consultation for laparoscopic surgery of enfometriosis, if i want mirena coil. It's good way how to stop bleeding so I shouldn't have any pain or problems for few years. I said yes, why not. They inserted mirena while the surgery. After surgery started my living hell. I had horrible cramps strong as contractions, smelly yellowish discharge. I couldn't move, couldn't scream for help. These cramps were sometimes an hour long without break. I went to hospital many times, I can't count it. They told me that my intestines are blocked and that makes me the pain. I was taking cocodamol every day trying to rid of the pain. Nothing helped. I couldn't exercise, walk faster, do anything. The pain got worse so i asked my gp to remove the coil. Unfortunately she couldn't because threads were gone. After 2 months of going to emergency room almost every day, they took it finally out. I experienced huge relief after coil removal and everything got better. another 10 months after removal i went for another pre-operation consultation in private clinic because of second laparoscopic surgery of endometriosis. The doctor was experienced and really good doctor. He found out that i have too little uterus for mirena coil and that's the reason of the horrible pain. I want you to be aware of this, so no other woman will suffer as me.

I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. :( But I'm glad it was finally removed for you. I also had the Mirena coil inserted since August of last year. I've almost been non-stop spotting the entire time it's ridiculous. I also get these sharp stabbing pains at times. But thank you for being so strong and sharing your story!

I had such a similar experience with the coil! And no one could tell me why I had such a bad reaction to it. I wonder if this could be why! Thank you for sharing.
