Endometrial resection and stuck coil - now pain

0 replies

Hi everyone.

I will try to keep this as short as I can.

I had an endometrial resection 4 years ago due to horrendous periods. I haven't had a period since, but the last few months I have been getting very intense pain, like a bad period pain. Intermittent and usually eased with pain killers and a hot water bottle.
The last few days I have been experiencing it again and have a very pale peachy/white discharge.

My womb is retroflex and a GP said it appears I have adenomyosis (heavy/boggy were words used in my scans). I also have a mirena coil which was inserted incorrectly and is now permanently stuck in the muscle wall (6 years) - they attempted to remove it at my resection but they couldn't see it. It was later spotted on an MRI.

So, yep - a bit complicated.

But I just want to know if anyone's periods came back years after a resection, if anyone has a stuck coil which later causes problems etc. I will be calling my GP but wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Thanks in advance
