I tried to have my contraceptive coil removed at my local clinic but they were unable to locate it, and said I would need to wait for over a month to see the doctor to try and remove it. I ended up going to The Royal Bolton instead and was seen by a doctor who managed to get it out in around 1 minute with minimal pain and discomfort. I cannot praise the doctor enough, he made me feel as relaxed as it's possible to be in such a painful situation, and his nurse was very friendly and welcoming.
It brought to an end a difficult situation and I am very grateful to the staff of The Royal Bolton, and the NHS who I have spoken to in relation to this. The nurse on reception was less friendly and tried to advise me that it would not be possible to remove it before I had been seen, so I am very glad I insisted and waited to be seen.
