Hi I had a copper coil fitted last year. Since then alot of my hair has fallen out especially around the top front of my head. Could this be a side effect plus my iron has dropped to six, I have gained alot of weight, I get very irratible and I get alot of discharge stringy white and I bleed alot during my period.

Hi thanks for your question.
Copper T has few side effects,like pain abdomen,irregular menstruual cycle. and heavy bleeding during periods.vaginal discharge could also be its side effects.Fall of your haemoglobin level to 6 could also be due prolonged and heavy bleeding as a result of copper T.CopperT definitely doesn't cause hair loss but it could be due to decreased haemoglobin as result of copper T.irritabilty could also be part of anemia i,e decreased haemoglobin.weight gain is not related to copper T.
Hope this answers your question
