Mirena IUD side effects

There are many types of IUDs. Many women will choose an IUD based on the doctor's recommendation when choosing one, because the doctor will give corresponding suggestions based on the size of the woman's uterus. Mirena IUD is relatively common. What are the side effects of Mirena IUD? Women may experience some reactions after having an IUD implanted. For example, some women may experience back pain, abdominal pain, and irregular menstruation.

1. Overview

Many couples who do not want children are thinking about how to prevent pregnancy and what contraceptive methods are effective and do not harm the body. Often at this time people think of IUDs. Let us explain the side effects of placing a Mirena IUD. The mechanism by which the Mirena contraceptive ring may cause uterine perforation after insertion is not clear. It is generally believed that it may be caused by the inappropriate size of the uterus or improper operation by the doctor. In addition, when women exercise vigorously, the IUD in their body may cause damage to the uterus due to its sharp shape and physical inertia. Unexplained uterine contractions may also squeeze the IUD and cause uterine perforation. It may also damage other organs. In rare cases, the intrauterine contraceptive ring may cause uterine perforation and enter the abdominal cavity, causing the contraceptive device to be dislocated. The IUD may be ectopically located in the bladder, pelvis, or mesentery.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. First: The Mirena ring contains slowly released progesterone, which will cause irregular menstruation. It can generally reduce the amount of bleeding, but the bleeding time is long and the bleeding is not complete.

2. Second: After using Mirena for one year, women only have light menstrual bleeding for two days each month on average. This is only a local effect. The side effect of Mirena is irregular vaginal bleeding, especially in the first six months, which will mostly improve after six months.

3. Thirdly: The subsequent effect of the Mirena IUD is also very unexpected. This little baton seems to detect that the uterus does not want to accept the "seed" - the fertilized egg, nor does it want to endure the menstruation that comes with it. Therefore, after using the Mirena ring for one year, an average of 10% to 20% of women will experience menstrual suspension.

3. Notes:

The Mirena IUD is currently a relatively good contraceptive device, but it also has certain side effects, so those who plan to use it for long-term contraception can consider this. After all, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, so you must consider it carefully.
