Pain In Lower Abdomen In Left Side, On And Off Cramps, Bleeding. History Of Stopped Periods For 2 Years After Mirena Coil IUS Being Fitted. Serious?
Hi, I've had a mirena coil IUS fitted for the past 2years my periods have stopped since I had it fitted. The last few days I've had lower abdo pain mainly on my left side but also cramping across the whole on my lower abdo which comes and goes, I have also now started bleeding about 2 sanitary towels a day. I would just like an opinion as to whether it is a case of wait till Monday and see my doctor or go to hospital urgently and waste their time?
Many thanks

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is a coil that was eluting hormone – hence no periods before.
Now it is over and hence the bleed.
The pain could be from Endometritis / Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and so on...
You could afford to wait – if the bleeding is not profuse and the pain is tolerable / Over The Counter (OTC) Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) and/or anti-spasmodic can be useful in the meanwhile...
You need not worry about ‘wasting their time’ – they are there to help. At least, you will be reassured...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As bleeding occurs after two years, it is natural heavy bleeding.
In my opinion you should wait for 5 days ( 7 days).
You have not mentioned age as this is important in this case.
Good luck.
