coil side effects?

[ilytotoro]

I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and had a coil fitted just over a month ago to help with pain.

Recently I have been getting symptoms that include -

poor appetite

bloating, pain in stomach and feeling full after eating only a small amount of food or after drinking anything with milk (non dairy)

Needing to use the bathroom often and urgently.

Has anyone had these side effect from the coil? or are these just new endometriosis symptoms?

thanks

I had the coil fitted to try and suppress my periods to prolong my endometriosis returning as quickly after my surgery in October 2018. I had the coil in approximately 4 months when I began having horrendous pains in my hips and I started experiencing pins and needles in the tops of my legs. I had the coil removed not long after experiencing these symptoms and now have the implant which seems to be going a lot better than the coil. It wasn’t for me!

Sadly I was similar - I hated it. I was constantly feeling sick, bloated & pain, weight gain, dizzy and moody! I managed about 6 months & saw my consultant who took it out.

Hey!

I was diagnosed with endo back in October 2018 and they fitted the Mirena coil, my first 6-7 months were awful, I was getting everything you are now..I even went to my GP to have it taken out after 3 months, she convinced me to stick with it and if after 6 months things didn't look better, they would take it out. I noticed when it got to about 7 months that things started changing, I wasn't getting as much pain as I normally was..I still get pain but its not a constant pain now, more comes and goes..Also my periods became wayyy lighter and shorter than normal, and have completely stopped now (Sorry for the TMI)

I say stick with it, and if after a year nothing as changed, have it taken out, I'm soo glad I stuck with mine..

Hope you feel better soon xx
