mirena coil?

Question

Hi have a mirena coil,been told everything is ok with it,but have been suffering severe pelvic pain since end of january.Docs are now treating me with pelvic inflamattory disese,not getting any better,any one else suffered this?Other doc thinks it could still be the coil any one help me please????

Answer 1

Mirena coils cause significantly less problems than their non-hormone predecessors. Not all doctors will agree with me, but if a patient of mine either develops pelvic infection, or prolonged pain issues, even without infection, I will always advise removing the coil and selecting an alternate method of contraception. Leaving the coil in, which acts as a foreign body, tends to make it difficult to clear up the problem.

Answer 2

Hi, Must admit I don't have the Mirena version (I wanted the one without the hormones) But I do have the coil fitted (for the last 2 yrs) and it is great, slightly crampy stomach on fitting, only a short twinge (take Ibuprofen 1/2 hr before your appt) two slightly crampy periods afterwards, and now absolutely brill don't know it's there, would definately recommend it. Hope this helps p.s I had trouble with the pill beforehand , and prefer to know that any hormones circulating are my own, much better now than when on pill , I used to have constant headaches, never realised they were down tio the pill until I came off !

Answer 3

hi i have the mirena coil and i have never had any problems with it but then everyone is different. the only thing to do is have coil removed and use something else in mean time and see if that stops the pain if not then its something else. good luck

Hi there,
I recommend this interesting ebook about ovarian cysts http://ovariancysts.toptips.org



There are several primary factors and a combination of these factors which lead to ovarian cysts formation.



Genetic predisposition: Genetic predisposition is often considered to be the primary cause of ovarian cysts as research has shown that the genetic pattern of women who suffer from this chronic condition is far different compared to women who have never suffered from ovarian cysts or PCOS. PCOS women are often predisposed to abnormal metabolism and the dysfunctions of cell activity. However, this should not be a death warrant as many times the genetic characteristics can be modified with the help of environmental factors and proper lifestyle related changes.


Poor dietary choices: Different types of foods including refined carbohydrates, acidic foods and foods which contain high levels of toxins and hormone like substances can trigger hormonal imbalance and can weaken your immune system making you more susceptible to ovarian cysts. Similarly a diet rich in sugar and low on fresh vegetables can make the task of flushing out toxins difficult thereby aggravating your ovarian cyst condition.


Weak immune system: Poor dietary choices, stress and sleep deprivation can lead to a weakened immune system. A weakened immune system invites cannot defend the body against ovarian cyst formation.


Insulin resistance: High level of insulin can stimulate ovarian androgen production, which leads to the production of male hormones. This reduces the serum sex-hormone binding globulin or SHGB. The SHBG can in turn aggravate your ovarian cyst condition to quite an extent.


Failed ovulation process: When the ovaries fail to release an egg on a monthly basis due to certain metabolic disorders and because progesterone isn't produced it can trigger the formation of ovarian cysts as the immature follicles develop into cysts.

I have Mirena and haven't had any problems with it. I would get a second opinion if I were you.

Answer 6

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/qEoiU

Answer 8

Mirena coil, wasn't she an actor or something.

Answer 9

It's certainly something I'd consider; IUDs are notorious for causing pelvic pain and very heavy periods in some women. If in doubt, get it removed, and use a different form of birth control. You can always have another inserted if necessary, and this way, you can find out.
