Q: mirena coil
asked by: Appleyard on November 9th, 2009

I have had coil for 13 years. Replaced every 5 years. Over years hair has got thinner, now have pateched all over scalp. Looks really bad, have low self esteem...comes out in clumps in shower and you can see all the bald areas easily. GP said due to stress, however life is very good and no stress. Have put on weight to the point that am 4 stones over.Occasionally have blinding migraines, vision is blurred...have had eye test but no loss noted.

Is the Mirena coil possible a factore in all this. I am especially concerned about hair loss. I take all the vitamins etc associated with good hair growth, as well foods good for hair growth. What would happen if I decide to go off the mirena coil after such a long time?

Please help.
