and immediately inform your gynaecologist or healthcare service provider
about the accidental removal of the MelbeaGold product.
Present the accidentally removed device to your doctor to allow them to
verify whether all components of the device are present and the device
is undamaged and to ensure that no parts of it broke off and remained
in the reproductive system.
The MelbeaGold device so removed must be considered potentially
infectious material; accordingly, you must ensure that it is taken to your
gynaecologist or healthcare service provider in appropriately sealed,
leakage-free packaging.
Following the inspection of the removed MelbeaGold device by the
gynaecologist and if required, the taking of photographs or the recording
of video footage, the gynaecologist must ensure that the device, which
is considered infectious hazardous waste after removal, is placed in a
marked container, and disposed of as required.
– If you are experiencing vaginal discharge or abdominal pain, immediately
visit your doctor.
– Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain or fever
after the insertion of the MelbeaGold product.
– Visit your doctor if your menstrual cycle is delayed since it is rare but
possible to develop both intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy even in
spite of using the MelbeaGold device.
In the event of pregnancy, the MelbeaGold product must be removed by
the end of the third month if the indicator string is visible.
The removal of the MelbeaGold device during pregnancy may lead to
abortion.
Your gynaecologist or health care service provider will offer to abort
the pregnancy due to the increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease
and other severe complications in such cases, including labour pains,
miscarriage, sepsis, and death.
If you decide to carry the pregnancy to term or the MelbeaGold device
can no longer be removed (
your pregnancy is in an advanced stage
),
you have to be informed in detail of the risks caused by the presence of
a MelbeaGold device which was not removed.
The risk of miscarriage is significantly higher in such cases than when the
coil is removed and you will require especially extensive prenatal care.
If you decide to carry the pregnancy to term, visit your doctor regularly.
Immediately contact or visit your gynaecologist or healthcare service
provider if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
– you experience flu-like symptoms, fever, body chills, cramps, pain,
bleeding, vaginal discharge, or fluid seeping from the vagina during
pregnancy. These could be signs of an infection.
– If the entirety of the MelbeaGold device is expelled from your uterus, the
device ceases to provide contraceptive protection. The risk of pregnancy
is present even in the case of a partial expulsion. Visit your doctor
immediately.
If the rejected device or a part of it is available, present it to your doctor
for inspection.
The MelbeaGold device so removed must be considered potentially
infectious material; accordingly, you must ensure that it is taken to your
gynaecologist or healthcare service provider in appropriately sealed,
leakage-free packaging.
