Do I have a hysterectomy?
I have suffered with pain since I was 11 years old and am now 38. I have had 2 coils, 2 laparoscopys, tried tri-cycling my combined pill for years, the mini pill, hormone injections and HRT. I have pain for 7-10days on a 2 weekly cycle and feel like my endo rules my life. I feel like I am not able to

Merina coil removal
Hi, I'm due to have my Merina Coil removed as it's been in for 5 years but I'm afraid it's going to be very painful. It was put in when I had the laparoscopy so was under GA. Smears are generally super painful with several attempts on different occasions and I'm worried that removing the coil will be

Are MRI with coil and biopsy needed for BCR recurrence in prostate for cryotherapy, HIFU, Tulsa Pro or Brachytherapy?
After posting questions on ADT options for BCR oligometastasis, we have new development/input from RO and MO which makes us delay starting hormone therapy now. We would really appreciate members' input and advice so that we can make informed decision. Brief background, my husband was diagnosed in Dec

Postpone period whilst 6 months into IUD
Hi all I understand you may not have an answer but having a discussion may help me feel better ! I have had the Mirina IUD for 6 months now as a treatment for Endo after surgery and still getting monthly bleeds. When I was taking the pill I would take a back to back packet if I wanted to postpone a bleed

DVLA H1 form question
It says they don't need to know if you've just had a battery change, and they do need to know if you've changed to an
ICD
. There was no option for a CRT-P although it is listed as a type of device, but nowhere on the form to enter the information. Anybody had this upgrade and what did you do?

Changes In Immune System
After living with UP for around 30yrs and Systemic Mastocytosis diagnosed 13yrs ago. I have had sepsis 3 times. The 1st time due to an abscess on my ovary and infection due to coil contraceptive. The 2nd time no cause was found. The 3rd time I’d had an accident and broken 4 ribs and punctured my lung

Could I be pregnant on Copper coil?
I had copper coil inserted May 2021...since then I've had my periods although they have been sporadic. Though I have missed period last month? Could I be pregnant, I'm going to test this weekend. It's still in place though so it's not like it's come out.

Shall I have a ICD or not?
Hi all just reaching out to who have had an
icd
fixed underneath their armpit left side. I’m currently in hospital contemplating to take this option or go home on medication and just be cautious.

I had my 2nd hospital appt this week, where they confirmed I have endo. My left ovary is stuck to my womb & I have some endo inside my womb from what they can see in the internal scan. After just finding this out she asked me to pick if I wanted the coil to help symptoms or a Laparoscopy. She said the

ICD and how it changes your life
I’ve been told to have an
ICD
fitted as it’s a good insurance policy to have in case my heart rhythm start to dis align. I’d like to how has life changed since having it fitted. I read on the BHF about keeping mobile 6 inches apart and not going through metal detectors etc.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - how to recover?
Recovering from or living with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease? Please tell me your story. Maybe caused by copper IUD?? I am 45 years old and was very active and busy up until mid April this year. Regular 5-8 km running and upwards of 10,000 steps per day. No health issues. Had copper coil fitted in 2013
