Gaining weight and amenorrhea after using Mirena

The Mirena IUD is a new contraceptive device. It is a T-shaped support frame made of high-pressure polyethylene and contains a synthetic estrogen - levonorgestrel. The main function of levonorgestrel is to make it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, and at the same time make the uterine wall unfavorable for embryo implantation. The contraceptive efficiency is 99%. So, will using Mirena cause weight gain and amenorrhea?

The levonorgestrel component of the Mirena ring is 52 mg. It is placed in the uterus and releases about 20 mg into the uterine cavity every day. It is effective for about 5 years. Compared with ordinary contraceptive rings, Mirena ring can not only provide contraceptive measures, but also slowly release estrogen into the uterine cavity to relieve menstrual pain and reduce menstrual volume.

Mirena is an estrogen. After entering the uterine cavity, it releases estrogen regularly and quantitatively. At this time, weight gain is a normal physiological phenomenon. The release rate of levonorgestrel in Mirena is 20μg every 24 hours. The blood gas concentration cannot reach the same blood pressure concentration during ovulation. Two-thirds of women still maintain the ovulation cycle after long-term use. That will have very little effect on the ovaries. It is recommended to eat a balanced diet, eat less spicy food, irritants and desserts, exercise moderately, drink more hot water, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, and avoid staying up late.

Mirena is a drug ring that also contains 52 mg of estrogen. It releases a certain amount of estrogen every day to achieve the effect of contraception. This generally does not cause weight gain; but there may be spotting or symptoms of transient amenorrhea. These symptoms are normal and will disappear after the contraceptive ring is removed. However, the actual effect of this round of contraceptive measures is very good. 99% of them will not cause accidental pregnancy, and this slow-release has the effect of treating dysmenorrhea or excessive menstruation.

The actual effect of Mirena IUD on adenomyosis

Adenomyosis can cause patients to have excessive menstruation and dysmenorrhea. The Mirena IUD can reduce menstrual volume and relieve dysmenorrhea. The most important thing is that the Mirena IUD cannot completely cure adenomyosis. If you want to completely eradicate adenomyosis, surgery is the only treatment.
