Had Mirena Coil Fitted. Started Feeling Tired, Headache And Having Brown Discharge. Should I Be Worried?
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question today.
Given that you previously had a Mirena IUD (and I will assume without symptoms like you are describing) and now with a re-insertion are experiencing some symptoms that might be of concern (abnormal discharge, pelvic pain) it would be worth a visit to your doctor to rule out:
1. Infection
2. Malposition of the IUD itself
This should be done with exam AND ultrasound. As far as the headaches go, this could be related to the IUD but not a common symptom. If the IUD was in the proper location, I would try to encourage you to treat the headache and see if this is less of an issue in the next month or so.
I hope this helps. Please ask if you have followup questions!
