birth control
"My 1st Paraguard had to be removed within a few months because of a painful endometriotic infection. I had a 2nd IUD put in 2 years later, at which point I started getting   Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL)  pap results, which have continued for the 10 years that  I have had the device: I think the chronic inflammation caused by the IUD prevents my body from healing this. In the last 3 years breast cysts began proliferating, some infected, which baffle the doctors because they associate them with taking hormones: Copper toxicity can cause hormonal imbalance. I have had regular, off-colored discharge & frequent spotting. I have had an extra period (2 in 1 month) 3 times a year, & my periods last for 7 days (once 4 weeks). My migraines have intensified, & I often have cramping."
