I love the coil, I have barely any pain, hardly any periods and since I work in musical theatre it means I can live my life! HOWEVER, gradually over the year I have gotten awful

Hi, I have diagnosed endometriosis. Because I got diagnosed a few years and have been trying to figure out how to live with it (had surgeries, am on Mirena coil etc) I never thought about continuing to research my symptoms.

Hi,I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3/4. Previously tried different pain killers, coil etc. Pain killers don't even touch the pain. I have been bleeding everyday since the coil was fitted. I want to have surgery but my Gynocologist didn't seem keen. How can I push this?
