Hi I have had a mirena coil fitted for just over two years. I have suddenly now gained a stone in weight and feel terribly bloated. I have jawline congestion spots too & have been told this is a result of the coil. Just worried about the bloated stomach - I went a little over calorie intake at the weekend but not that much
Hi, Thanks for the query. Sometimes bloating sensation of the abdomen can be seen as side effect of the IRENA coil. And there are no proved evidences related to weight gain due to the coil. But as you are having congestion spots, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined to rule out serious complications like blood coagulation problems.Don't worry these are rare but better to rule out. If you are continuously having problem with this better to choose some other contraceptive measure. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
