Hi three weeks ago I had the mirena coil
fitted for treatment of symptoms of
friboids. It was very painful, not sure
if this was because of the fiboids or if
others have had this experience. I have
only had two days of not bleeding since
this aswell... Im giving it ago for
another 3months and then I go back to
gyni, but am very scared incase it has not
worked, I do not want the pain of having
it removed....Help.....

It seems to be pretty standard that the
mirena coil is prescribed for fibroids.
As are birth control pills. Something
with the hormones and having less lining
in the uterus...
I have not had a coil but i've read enough
to understand insertion can be painful for
some women. Have you had children? It
can be more painful for those who haven't
had children.
Why would you consider having it removed
in 3 months? Have you tried taking
regular birth control pills to control
symptoms?

They should have explained to you that you
may have irregular and everday bleeding
and spotting for up to 6-9 months...
Usually after that many women lose their
periods completely.

Coil and Fibriods Posted: 01-15-08 05:41am
Hi
I have had 3 children and was sterilised
in August 2007. Since then I have had 2
periods, one lasting 14 days and another
lasting 21 days, doc prescribed tranexamic
acid tabs to stop bleeding, which worked.
Have been for an internal exam today and
doc says uterus is unusually large and
suspects fibriod(s). I am waiting for an
appt to go for an ultrasound.
Doc said treatment would probably be
contraceptive pill or a coil. I am not
happy about any of these treatment options
as the whole point of being sterlised what
that I would not need any more
contraception.
