4 years ago, aged 57, I was having menopausal symptoms, hot flushes etc then started heavy bleeding. I was seen quickly, had a hysteroscopy and uterine polyps were found and removed. At the same time I had the Mirena coil inserted in combination with Estrogel for HRT. The Mirena provides the progesterone part of the HRT and was recommended to keep my uterine lining thin and prevent further polyps. This regime has worked well and I am now 61, down to half a pump of Estrogel daily and due to have the Mirena removed or replaced. I feel at 61 I am over the worst and could stop the Estrogel. But I am anxious about removing the Mirena in case the polyps/bleeding starts again. What are the chances of this? Hope someone can advise. Many thanks.
