Question : Hi, I have been experiencing some abdominal cramping since the summer with irregular light periods, lasting from a few hours to few days, however I also have the mirena coil.....the dr has done various blood tests (not sure for what) and had a look at my cervix. I have ectropic(?) cervix but dr said that's ok. Was referred to the hospital who suggested maybe I wasn't getting on with this coil, but I've had it for two years and the symptoms have only just recently started. They thought everything was simply hormonal. Now however I am on day 17 of light bleeding/bloody discharge of this recent bout. Since Monday I have also had a mild indigestion which had been eased by eating although not always.....should I book another dr appt or just live with these symptoms?
Thanks for your help

Ultrasound Scan

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Welcome to health care magic.

Your symptoms seem more like fibroid or endometriosis. To answer your concern I would like to see your Ultrasound abdomen report. Please get ultrasound scan done. If already done please let me know the report.
