Mirena IUD
The Mirena IUD is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider to prevent pregnancy. It releases a low dose of progestin, a hormone that thickens cervical mucus to block sperm and thins the uterine lining, reducing the chance of fertilization and implantation. Mirena can provide protection for up to five years and may also help reduce heavy or painful periods. It is a highly effective, reversible form of birth control with minimal ongoing maintenance, allowing women to have a more natural hormonal balance while preventing pregnancy.
