 Mirena IntraUterine DeviceMirena is an intrauterine device used to either prevent pregnancy or treat heavy bleeding. The device has a small amount of progesterone within its T-shaped structure. This progesterone does not circulate throughout your body but only affects the lining of the uterus to thin it down and eliminate periods. It is very safe and you can become pregnancy within 1 month of its removal. I do tell patients that the Mirena device prevents pregnancy in many ways, but it does prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. You must be agreeable to this before I will place the device for you. |
