Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Feeling of mild heaviness is a common feeling seen after insertion of a mirena coil. It is usually due to mild infection or inflammation and a kind of response of the uterus to a foreign body. The contractions of uterus also increasing causing mild pain. In most of the cases these symptoms subside on their own without any treatment in 4-6 weeks.

If your periods are overdue then also there is mild water retention in the lower abdomen causing the heaviness. Once your periods start, it will subside on its own.

Still it is best to have an ultrasound scan of your lower abdomen done to rule out any other possible pathology.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. If there are additional concerns, I am available for your followups.

Regards.

Hello.

Thanks for writing back.

If you are not having a period for last two years means that you definitely need to be investigated and many conditions need to be ruled out.

If pregnancy is ruled out, other factors that need to be ruled out include stress, hormonal imbalance or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland, Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome or less frequently a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels or a hypothalamic disease can also be the cause.

All these need to be investigated under an expert guidance of a gynaecologist
.
Sincerely hope it will help.
Wishing you an early recovery.
