In the case of perforation, the MelbeaGold device may cause internal
scarring, infection, damage to other organs, pain, infertility, and even
death. In addition to pharmacotherapy, surgery is required to remove
the MelbeaGold device and treat any damaged organs.
In the case of breastfeeding women, women who have not given birth,
and women who have recently given birth, the risk of perforation is higher
when inserting the MelbeaGold device. If the device size is selected
incorrectly, this may also cause perforation.
The probability of perforation is higher in the case of women with
abnormal (
retroverted
) uteri or immobile uteri due to adhesions (
e.g.
caused by endometriosis
).
The uterine wall may be perforated by the physician during the insertion
or removal of the device (iatrogenic perforation) or at any time during or
after insertion due to forces caused by sudden and strong or weaker but
repeated uterine contractions (spontaneous perforation).
Id diagnosed early, the complications of perforation may be treated with
medication or surgery; fertility generally remains unaffected in such
cases. The MelbeaGold product must be removed.
– Implantation
In rare cases, the implantation of the device into the uterine wall may
make removal more difficult. In such cases, surgery might be required.
– Breaking of the product
In rare cases, the breaking of the MelbeaGold and pieces remaining
in the uterine cavity may make removal more difficult. In such cases,
surgery might be required. It is also possible that surgery will not be
required since all pieces of the product are rejected either at the time of
breaking or sometime afterwards.
– Changes to the menstrual cycle
You might experience heavier or longer menstrual cycles or spotting during
your period. Bleeding occasionally becomes heavier after insertion. In
abnormal cases, this bleeding may become even heavier and prolonged;
the number of bloodstains may increase.
– Unique arousal symptoms during the insertion or removal of the device
or thereafter:
In the case of some women, symptoms such as dizziness, low heart
rate, or cramps may present themselves after the insertion or removal
of the MelbeaGold device.
These symptoms may primarily be experienced by women who have
suffered from such symptoms before for any reason.
