Benefits and Uses

• The Mirena IUD prevents pregnancy by releasing levonorgestrel, which works in several ways:

• Thickening cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus.

• Affecting sperm and egg movement through the uterus and fallopian tubes, reducing the likelihood of fertilization.

• Altering the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation.

• In some cases, it prevents ovulation by suppressing ovarian function.

• Additional Benefits:

• Long-acting: Provides pregnancy protection for up to five years.

• Reversible: Fertility returns quickly upon removal.

• Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding: Ideal for women with heavy periods, as it significantly reduces bleeding and may even stop menstruation altogether.

How Mirena IUD Is Inserted

The Mirena IUD is inserted by a trained healthcare professional. The process typically requires two visits:

First Visit

• A pelvic exam may be required, along with a Pap smear or infection screening if necessary.

• A prescription may be needed to obtain the IUD from a pharmacy before the insertion appointment.

Second Visit (Insertion Procedure)

• A local anesthetic may be applied to the cervix, though this is not always necessary.

• Women who are highly anxious or have never had a vaginal birth may be recommended light sedation during the procedure.

• The procedure takes about 10 minutes.

• Experiences vary: some women feel only slight discomfort, while others may find it more painful.

• Fasting is not required, but eating before the procedure is recommended.

• Some women may feel dizzy or faint afterward, so it's advisable to rest before leaving the clinic.
