What is Mirena?

Mirena is a hormonal IUD that releases the hormone levonorgestrel directly into the uterus. It is designed for women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding, are seeking a dependable form of contraception, or require protection for their uterine lining while using oestrogen for menopausal symptoms.

The hormone is released locally, which thins the uterine lining. This can lead to lighter bleeding and reduced menstrual pain. Mirena must be fitted by a doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.
