Endo and the coil

2 Replies

Hi,

I've just been diagnosed with endometriosis and am currently recovering from my laparoscopic surgery. I was fitted with the mirena coil as I was advised that this should hel keep the endo at bay. I am also type one diabetic. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the mirena and if they found it helpful? Or if anyone also has type one and has any advice on managing 2 chronic conditions?

Thank you and I'm so happy this community exists!

Hiya,I am also recovering from a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy (done yesterday). I was also given the mirena coil for the same reason as you. No experience with two chronic conditions. However, thought I'd message to see how your recovery is.

Hope you are healing up.

Ahh thank you so much for your message! It's so nice knowing we're not going through this alone. I am ok- still processing everything but also allowing myself to have lots of rest. I am on day 4 and feeling alot brighter than I did yesterday. I'm still very sore and moving slowly but excited at the prospect of hopefully feeling a bit better after recovery. I had no idea I would have the endo removed on the day of my laparoscopy (my surgeon told me if they found it they would reschedule another appointment to remove it) so it was quite a shock waking up to realise they had done the surgery. Although, i'm actually really glad i don't have to go back anytime soon!

How are you feeling? I hope you're ok and have someone to help you/ bring you tea! How have you found moving around?

Not what you're looking for?
