Do I get the merina coil removed after 3 year

Hey never wrote in here before but searching for some advice… I’ve been on the merina coil for nearly 4 years now and I’m constantly feeling ill, tired sick, pain in my boobs and severe headaches and my body aches all the time. Ive had a cyst removed before on my ovary then another had came back but had dissolved but now I think I have another. I’ve gained 2 stone in the biggest I’ve ever been and I just can’t shift the bloating at all, any advice will be helpful thank you :)

If you think it’s the coil then why not get it out? It’s been in long enough to no things won’t improve

Yeah, get rid of the bugger I say. I hated mine and I think it caused me to have all kinds of issues. Trust your instinct!

I believe they are licensed for 5 years now. My last 2 were in for 5 years, the first for 3 years. Worked for me, 13 years of no periods - they had been hellish - and I sailed through the menopause - that might be coincidental though.
