Mirena

I got the mirena coil fitted as I experience very heavy and painful periods. Whilst I had the coil I didn’t get any periods, or the associated cramps, which was great. But I did notice painful twinges in my lower abdomen that were pretty regular and uncomfortable. The worst thing about the coil for me, and the reason I got ot removed, was acne. I had acne throughout my teenage years but this cleared up in my early twenties and I had pretty clear skin. After getting the coil fitted I had terrible cystic acne that not only looked awful and knocked my confidence but was also very painful. The doctors told me that this would subside after a couple of months, however, I had the coil in for 14 months and it meber got any better until I had it removed.
