Hi, I had the non hormonal copper coil fitted two years ago. Its been the best thing ever! However I have three years left before it needs replacing and as Im only 23 with no children and not married I will want another one put in to replace the old when the time comes. However, the pain getting the coil fitted has made me so anxious about going again its taken over my thoughts almost daily (even though its three years away!). I wanted to know if there is the opportunity open to me to have it replaced under sedation or general anaesthetic. I literally CANT go through that pain again, its been two years and I still havent forgotten the excruciating pain. and I have a HIGH pain threshold. I hope you can help meAnna
Greetings of the welcome to ChatDoctorCopper T devices are usually placed and removed as an out patient procedure without sedation. The wishes of the patients are to be respected, so you can bring the wish of getting it done under sedation with your obstetricians who might consider it doing the way you want. I hope it helpedTake disregards Chat Doctor.
