I have had mire a coil for around 12yrs because it was thought that I had endometriosis. Recently after surgery to correct serious adhesions it was confirmed that I had history of paid that had not been caused by std. I am still suffering from regular pelvic inflammation and acute urine infections and now believe that the mire a coil could be causing it. I also suffer now from severe fatigue, hair loss and mood swings. Should I have the coil removed?
Hi, You had mire A coil since 12 years, for endometriosis, pelvic inflammation, urinary tract infections. Fatigue, hair loss, and mood swings.  Any IUD should not be left more than 3 years, it may lose potency, and cause infection.  Most probably all these symptoms might be caused by the infection due to the coil. I advise you to get it removed and get anew one after some time.  I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe fluconazole, a combination of definite, and ofloxacin. Thank you.
