Marina coil

[Teeteroo]

Hi ive never used this site before but would love some advice .. i had the marina coil put in on march 17th 2017 i have constantly bled but not like a period but its dark old blood mainly sorry for tmi ... i have also noticed my stomach has started to bloat very badly .. i had this inserted due to having a 3.5 mm fibroid which is causing very heavy bleeding but the drs refuse to remove the fibroid ... i suffer from severe anemia on top of this so please if anyone can give me advice on what to do i would be extreamly grateful

I would speak to my GP if I was in your position as this doesn't sound quite right but I'm not medically trained so I don't know

Hi tee , I had the merina coil fitted for heavy bleeding and from other people's accounts I thought I was in for a miracle cure. Unfortunately for me I bled almost constantly for 6 months, not heavy bleeding anymore more a small prolonged bleeding. After 6 months it stopped and now I get very occasional light bleeds. I did go back to the doctor at the hospital who fitted it and was told it would only control bleeding to an acceptable level never stop it completely.

I am glad I persevered as I have had 3.5 years of not much bleeding at all and now I'm down to my last year and will get a replacement next year , which I'm not looking forward to as the strings aren't visible so have been told I'll need a procedure to remove it.
