How could I have blanked something so important?
the last things on my mind. Neil had died in 2012 and, by my reckoning, I’d already forgotten all about my coil as a busy working mum of twin girls.So now, after a doctor’s appointment, a scan, and a return visit where I had my coil removed, I was suddenly free of worry. A weight was lifted.This time, going home after my appointment, I was elated. I decided I could, and should, tell my daughters what’d been on my mind and apologise for my grumpiness.
Conditions that can be caused by a forgotten coil include peritonitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine perforation. More seriously – and thankfully very rare – effects are a pyometra and actinomycosis, a bacterial infection. For anyone who thinks they may have overlooked the fact they have a coil, as life gets in the way, I’d say go and tell your doctor as soon as you can. Don’t be embarrassed – it’s better to check sooner rather than later as the risk of complications could grow.It’s good to remember it’s your responsibility to remember when the coil is due to be removed and a new one considered. You should get a little card with suggested dates on, and it should go on your medical notes as well.
So don’t forget and put yourself through the unnecessary anguish I endured – I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
