I have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and consultant has suggested I have a coil fitted. I am struggling to see how this will help.
I am 48, haven't had a period for over 2 years but do get some spotting. I also get bloating and discomfort in my lower abdomen. Everything I have read about the coil talks about either birth control (don't need that) and to reduce heavy bleeding. I don't need that either.
I've only heard negative things about the Mirena so am not keen to try it if it's not going to give me much benefit. I should add that I have fibroids too and one thing I read, said that it shouldn't be used if you have those.
Can anyone explain why it would benefit me?. (I will obviously discuss it with the consultant but wanted some insight first)
Thanks
