Mirena® Hormonal Intrauterine Device (IUD)

Mirena® is a small, T-shaped hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that is placed inside the uterus by a healthcare professional. It is a highly effective, long-acting method of birth control.

How It Works

Mirena releases levonorgestrel, a form of progestin, directly into the uterus, which:

• Thickens cervical mucus to block sperm.

• Thins the uterine lining, reducing implantation chances.

• May partially suppress ovulation in some women.

Key Benefits

• Over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.

• Provides protection for up to 8 years.

• Requires no daily action or maintenance.

• Fertility typically returns quickly after removal.

• Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding and menstrual pain.

• May be prescribed for heavy menstrual bleeding under medical supervision.

Usage

• Inserted into the uterus during a brief medical procedure.

• Can be placed during menstruation or after pregnancy has been ruled out.

• Remains effective until removed by a healthcare provider.

Important Notes

• Irregular bleeding or spotting may occur in the first few months.

• Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

• Medical consultation is required before use, especially in cases of uterine or breast conditions.
