I Have Been Bleeding For Three Weeks Woth Pain. I Have Had A Mirena Coil Fitted For A Year Now

mirena coil fitted for a year now and this period is of concern as i have been bleeding for three weeks now Ive had a mirena coil fitted for a year now to regulate my periods and stop the pain and discomfort but since being fitted it hasnt done no such thing the 1st three months were totally irregular which i was aware was a process one month they would be light and the next they would be heavy and painful always lasting a week sometimes i would come on a week after my last has finished this period has lasted three weeks now i am quite concerned and wonder if you could help by providing a diagnosis, Previosly ive had the pill that did not work, i was then prescibed two different forms of medication one to calm the bleeding and the other to calm pain as well as bleeding.

Hello,
Prolonged,heavy bleeding,irregular cycles,lower abdominal pain are all side effects of mirena.It affects different people differently.Usually the side effects settle down after 3-4 months of use.If at all its not suiting you and side effects not stop then you may have to switch to another form.
