What Causes Back Pain, Abdominal Pain And A Lot Of Bleeding During Periods?
Hi I have had the mirena coil fitted since august 2011 and the last few days I've been in extreme pain in my back and abdominal pain. I feel tired all the time and had alot of bleeding which I don't normally get is this normal and could this be that I am pregnant?

HI,
Minera coil has hormone progesterone inbuilt in the coil. Progestin is known to cause irregular bleeding with scanty or profuse bleeding irregularly. Your current bleeding can be of this type. But associated pain in back and abdomen can be due to associated pelvic inflammation (where foul smelling vaginally discharge is seen).
ALL these symptoms can be possible with change in position of device in uterus, USG pelvis would help to detect. You also need to get deep vaginally swab culture and sensitivity done to confirm or exclude it, followed by needful specific treatment. I would suggest to consult a gynecologist, get examined and investigated as per need, followed by treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
