Mirena IUD

Meaning

The Mirena IUD is an intrauterine device (IUD) that serves as a long-acting, reversible contraceptive method and is also approved for treating heavy menstrual bleeding. This small, T-shaped plastic device is inserted into the uterus and releases a steady, low dose of the synthetic progestin levonorgestrel directly into the uterine cavity. Its dual function in both fertility management and addressing menstrual volume makes it a significant hormonal tool in women’s health.
