Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I had experienced heavy bleeding for years resulting in anemia and just difficulties doing my normal routine.(It&#039;s tough to go to work when you are changing a heavy duty overnight pad every hour.) Finally on May 20, 2015 at the suggestion of my GP and gynecologist I had a Mirena placed. The next few months I saw the benefit of decreased bleeding, but I gained 15 lbs, my blood pressure went up 20 points systolic, 10 diastolic, and the worst was my severe bouts with anxiety and panic. Had it removed January 4, 2016. Everything has been getting gradually better. Doc said the bleeding would return, I&#039;ve had one light period in March, none since. I&#039;m 52."
