Mirena IUD

Product Introduction

The Mirena IUD Intrauterine Delivery System is a hormone-releasing device used for long-term contraception. Shaped like a T, this intrauterine device (IUD) is placed inside the uterus, where it gradually releases the hormone levonorgestrel.

Doctors also use the Mirena Intrauterine Delivery System to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. A healthcare professional inserts the device, which remains effective for up to five years. When you’re ready for pregnancy, a doctor can easily remove it. You should follow your doctor’s advice during use, with a follow-up examination scheduled 4-12 weeks after insertion.

Common side effects include cramps, headache, migraine, bleeding, and dizziness, especially after insertion. If these effects last more than 30 minutes, contact your doctor. Inform your doctor about any other medications you take, as they may affect the device’s effectiveness.

How Mirena Unit Works

The Mirena Intrauterine Delivery System releases the hormone levonorgestrel into the uterus. This hormone thickens cervical mucus to hinder sperm movement and thins the uterine lining. It may also prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs, contributing to its contraceptive and therapeutic effects.
