I had a hystoscopy yesterday but it wasn’t successful so if got to have another one using water to inflate the area.  The consultant also mentioned having a mirena coil.  Has anyone got experiences of either? X

Hi were U given pain relief prior to the procedure?  Remiss by the Consultant if not!

Lots find the mirena coil useful - there are threads and hopefully some1 will be along with advice.

I haven't had a hysteroscopy but I do have a mirena. It's great for me, no bleeds and no side effects unlike the other progestogens I've tried. It's like every other hrt though, most are absolutely fine but a few will have trouble with it. If you're going to have one it would make sense to do it at the same time.

CLKD - no pain relief yesterday but advised for the next one.  Sheila 99 - the consultant mentioned having the coil with the procedure x

That's very negligent ........... this procedure should always be done under pain relief!

Hi

I had a hysteroscopy a couple of years of years ago following post menopausal bleeding, my endometrium was slightly thickened so I had a biopsy to make sure all OK. The gynae suggested a Mirena Coil, initially I wasn't keen as I'd had a bad experience with a coil back in the 80s but she and the nurse I dealt with both assured me the Mirena is different. So I went for it, the coil was fitted during the same procedure as the biopsy and I've no regrets at all.  I had about 12 weeks of spotting but very light and sporadic, other than that no negative effects.

I'd make the same decision again and, if I can, I'll have this one replaced when it's end of life.
