"I had a really positive experience"

Posted by sapphire79 (as the patient), yesterday

I had a really positive experience getting my Mirena coil inserted. I booked a complex case appointment due to challenges in my last appointment, which meant that I was unable to have it fitted. I had a thorough consultation with my doctor, who talked through my previous issues and concerns. I was given the right pain relief and, as a result, I hardly felt the procedure at all. When she said that she had finished, I didn’t believe her! Thank you so much!
