Most women have never actually seen the Mirena coil. This is what it really looks like.

The Mirena coil is a hormonal IUD (intrauterine device), a small T-shaped device that sits inside the womb and releases a synthetic progestogen (levonorgestrel).

It works by:
• Thinning the womb lining
• Thickening cervical mucus
• Preventing pregnancy

It is one of the most effective forms of contraception and is licensed for up to 8 years.

It is also widely used as part of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) to protect the womb lining, and in this case is used for 5 years.

The Mirena can also help with:
• Heavy periods
• Painful periods
• Perimenopause symptoms

Understanding how it works and what it does can help you decide if it is the right option for you.

Always speak to your GP or pharmacist for personalised advice.

Feeling like a dumb ass and sorry for myself in equal measure.

The women’s health funding gap is real - and the numbers don’t lie.
We spend $2.8 billion on ED research and less than $300 million on menopause research.
Something is deeply wrong with that picture.
51% of the population will go through menopause. Less than 50% of men experience ED. So how does that maths work out?
And it gets worse:
Premenstrual symptoms affect 90% of women - yet receive one-fifth of the research funding that ED does. ED affects just 19% of men.
According to the McKinsey Health Institute & World Economic Forum’s Closing the Women’s Health Gap report, venture funding for companies focused on erectile dysfunction between 2019-2023 was 6x higher than for companies focused on endometriosis. $1.24 billion vs. $44 million.
The same report found that conditions like menopause and endometriosis are chronically under-researched, under-diagnosed, and under-prioritised - despite affecting hundreds of millions of women worldwide.
This isn’t just a health issue. It’s an equality issue.
And the data proves just how far behind we’ve been left. We have to fight for this - for our future selves and for every woman who comes after us. 💙

Most women never expect this… but start Googling:

🔍 why can’t I or**sm anymore
🔍 loss of or**sm after menopause
🔍 no or**sm in my 50s or 60s
🔍 menopause and low libido
🔍 cl****al sensitivity loss menopause

If that’s you, you are not alone.

Loss of or**sm during menopause or after menopause is very common, but hardly anyone talks about it.

Hormonal changes, especially lower estrogen levels, can affect the v***a and cl****is. This can reduce blood flow, sensitivity and arousal, making it more difficult to reach or**sm.

You might also notice:
• reduced libido
• vaginal dryness or pain during s*x
• less sensitivity in the cl****is
• needing more stimulation to or**sm

Other factors like stress, medications (especially antidepressants), and fatigue can also play a role.

The important thing to know is this:
loss of or**sm after menopause is treatable.

Vaginal estrogen can help improve tissue health, increase blood flow and restore sensitivity. Using a lubricant, allowing more time for arousal, and using direct cl****al stimulation or vibration can also make a real difference.

Your body hasn’t failed you. It has changed, and it needs a different approach.

We need to talk about this more openly so women know what is happening and what they can do about it.

Save this if you’ve been searching for answers, and share it with someone who might need it.
