MIRENA

Mirena Information

Mirena is a popular progestin intrauterin device (IUD) that has proven itself to be highly efficient in preventing the patient (the woman) from becoming pregnant for a certain time period (in some cases, the effect lasts for 5 years). This device alters the uterus’ lining, therefore preventing implantation (in case the fertilization does occur).
