Any thoughts on whether to try the mirena IUD before my first laparoscopy?
I recently received MRI results that 'combined with my symptoms are very suggestive of endometriosis'. My Gyn doctor has suggested we try treatment such as the Mirena coil under her care first, but has offered to refer me to the specialist endometriosis surgeon if i want to go down that route. She has also suggested I look at IBS treatment to help with my bowel symptoms.
I'm planning to ask whereabouts the MRI suggests endo, as I feel that if it's impacting my organs I'll be more inclined to have the surgery. I'm 22 years old, settled on the cerelle progesterone only mini pill which has helped my cycle lighten and reduce some of my pain and symptoms. The IUD has always made me nervous, but it is less invasive so I wonder if I should try it before opting for surgery. Anything thoughts or suggestions? Anything I should ask before making my decision? Thanks for your support :)
