Women call for more conversations around female health and reproductive issues.

The 38-year-old told BBC 5 Live's Naga Munchetty that she initially thought she was "an anomaly" after experiencing a painful coil fitting."Nobody ever told me it was going to be horrific or that it could be excruciatingly painful," she said.

Medical experts have said that no-one should be put off considering the coil as a safe and effective contraceptive and thatIn response, the Welsh Government said: "Appropriate provision of advice and support about pain, and medication or other forms of pain relief, is a part of any clinical contact.

Meanwhile in Brecon, Fiona Morgan said she was "seriously considering" not having her coil replaced because of the "unbelievable" pain.Ms Morgan said she first had it fitted 10 years ago, and after the procedure had to sit down in the waiting room for 30 minutes before being able to drive home."It is a subject people still need to talk about in public and for others to listen to," she said.

"I hadn't heard of anyone who experienced something like this - if it was discussed more then I'd be more aware of it," the 28-year-old said.

Like flatulence!!!

If women have had any medical proceedure done, they can talk to their GP if they have any issues. Thanks to many women coming forward about their fitted coil; it is now a known problem affecting countless women. So please talk to your GP.

Get your bloke to wear a condom... problem solved.
