Are extremely sore nipples a common side effect of mirena (levonorgestrel) iud? i've had mine 2 1/2 months and my nipples are extremely tender even showering hurts
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud releases small amounts of a hormone like Progesterone into your system. This can cause systemic side effects. Breast symptoms are one of them. Hopefully they should decrease over time.
