A member asked:
Can the copper iud be worth the most painful, heavy periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question?: If you are you asking if the copper IUD helps with heavy periods the answer is yes in some cases, not all. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) with Progesterone IUD is hands down the best IUD for heavy periods.
