Endometriosis + IUD (Mirena)

Hi all

Really looking for some advice.

I have really bad endometriosis stage 4 (adhesions and cysts)

I had a Laparoscopy in Dec 2022 with a mirena IUD fitted.

Since then my periods and the severe pain associated with endometriosis has been exactly the same as it was before the surgery. Its the same numb/stinging/sharp pain as before and seems to be getting worse.

I am due to speak to my private doctor but I wanted to know if anyone has been in a similar position?

My doctor previously mentioned that I might be one of those people who the IUD hasn't worked for and it's really impacting my life.

I am going to ask to have it removed as its only helped lighten my periods (which now last over 1.5 weeks)

Any advice would be great!!

It didn’t improve my pain, but stopped the endometriosis coming back. I’’ About to get my 6th for HRT.
