Description
Mirena is a hormone-releasing intrauterine device that offers long-acting contraception and is also used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. It contains levonorgestrel, a progestogen that is slowly released into the uterus over several years. Once placed, Mirena provides reliable protection against pregnancy for up to five years while also helping to suppress or lighten menstrual bleeding.
The device is placed into the uterus during a brief in-office procedure. It works by thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm, altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation, and in some individuals, it may suppress ovulation. The hormone is delivered directly to the uterus, so systemic hormone exposure remains low.
Mirena is often chosen not only for its contraceptive benefits but also for its ability to significantly reduce menstrual flow. Many users experience lighter periods, and in some cases, periods stop entirely. It is frequently used by people who experience heavy or painful periods or who prefer a long-term, low-maintenance solution that avoids daily pills.
As a hormone-based IUD that does not contain estrogen, Mirena is a good option for those who cannot or prefer not to use estrogen-containing contraceptives. It can be removed at any time, and fertility typically returns quickly after removal.
