Mirena IUD and ParaGard IUD. Sandra’s Story
I've always struggled with fatigue and chronic pain and inflammation from autoimmune diseases, but they gradually became worse while I had ParaGard. Later that year, I ended up getting diagnosed with HPV and the doctor found atypical squamous cells on my cervix, neither of which were there before ParaGard. They also found uterine fibroids which also weren't there before ParaGard (to my knowledge), which explains the heavy periods. I ended up having a hysterectomy in 2019.
