Hi ive had the mirena coil fitted 3 weeks ago and have been suffering with pain in my groin and back. I went back to the gynacology unit and they gave me a scan an internal scan and said my coil was in the right place. The pain is more severe on a night and no painkillers ease it. It comes in waves like contractions. My gp prescribed me antibiotics last week in case of infection. I have finished these and the pain is still the same. Please help i cant handle these pains much longer
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor Since the Pain in the groin and back caused after the placement of IRENA, you can remove the IRENA IUD and opt barrier method of contraception(condoms)... If the pain still persists then investigations like USG scanning is needed to find the cause for the pain e.g.  Kidney stone may also cause pain. Since you had already treated for the RTI, do not take further anti bionics, remove the IRENA and observe for pain.
