How the Mirena Coil is fitted

Описание: Did you know the Mirena coil was originally licensed to treat heavy bleeding - not just for birth control?
Now it’s one of the most widely used hormonal IUDs in the world, praised for being over 99% effective and lasting up to 5 years.
But like all hormonal options, it’s not without nuance.

💡 How it works:
The Mirena releases a steady, low dose of levonorgestrel (a form of progestogen) directly into your womb. This does three key things:
1) Thins the womb lining (lighter periods or no periods at all)
2) Thickens cervical mucus (harder for sperm to reach an egg)
3) May prevent ovulation (though not always)

BUT here's what people often want to know:
It can cause spotting or irregular bleeding, especially in the first 3–6 months.
Some users report mood changes, acne, or bloating.
It’s safe to use with tampons or a menstrual cup, but placement matters.
If you do get pregnant on it (very rare), there’s a slightly increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.

For some, it’s life-changing. For others, it doesn’t suit their body.
The most important thing? Informed choice. This is your body. Your care. Your decision.
