IUD For Endometriosis Symptoms.
I’m curious to know if anyone has had any relief with their endometriosis symptoms with and IUD. I’m considering all my options and looking for pros and cons of things. I have been suggested IUD in the past. I do have a Dr apt next month with my Dr to discuss.
I tried an IUD for about a year and it personally did not help but I’ve heard a lot of stories from women that it did wonders on their symptoms… unfortunately I think it affects everyone differently
I had I believe a Mirena IUD put in because I was sick of remembering pills. If not Mirena, it was another long lasting one with progesterone only.
After I started it I was bleeding mildly to moderately for a month and having awful cramps on and off, I think mood swings too. I had never cramped badly from periods or any form of birth control pill before, or even the combined pill which had caused a month of heavy bleeding. At one point the IUD pain got so severe I felt like I was dying for over an hour, so I pulled it out myself.
I cannot personally recommend them.
I switched back to the progesterone pill for years and am now looking into how to get off hrt fully and control endo without it.
