What Are The Side Effects Of Mirena Coil Fitting?
Heya I m 25 and had the mirenna coil fitted in 3 years ago it was great at the start and now I m suffering with pains down me left leg and alot of discharge which smells and I also suffer with headaches, dizziness and weakness.. I also can t feel the string.. My Dr made a mistake as she fitted it in when I wasnt in a period and also gave me a urine test to make sure I wasn t pregnant after she fitted it in. I also feel bloated constantly and the other night I got taken away with severe pains in the left side of the abnormal which caused me to pass out. I couldn t wait in A&e for long as there was people getting sick and I had my pregnant sis with me.. They won t take it out until I go to a guide clinic to make sure I haven t got any stds what should I do please help me

Hello,
I can understand your concern. The symptoms you have described are common with fitting with Mirena coil, but to a mild degree. These severe symptoms along with smelly vaginal discharge indicates presence of infection, which can be related to the Mirena coil insertion.
I would advise you to visit a gynecologist or emergency room for the immediate treatment of the infection. As you are having so severe pain that you are passing out due to that, it is not advisable to wait and delay management of the situation.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have follow up questions.
