Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I seem to be in between Breast and Endometrial! I'm having my third hysteroscopy this Friday for an endometrial thickening of 38mm. This is suspected as a result of the medication Tamoxifen which I have taken for 2 years following breast cancer.
I've been offered a Mirena coil insertion at the same time as the hysteroscopy (under GA) and am in two minds about it. I'm a little worried about the hormones in my system as my breast cancer was oestrogen and progesterone positive. The research is a little unclear as to whether this is an issue or not. I'm also worried about the extraction of the coil in 5 years (I know that's a bit much, but I'm such an anxious patient).
I would be grateful for anyone's experiences of having a Mirena coil inserted for endometrial thickening and whether this reduced the thickening and helped with heavy bleeding.
With many thanks,
Robyn.
