I had a mirina fitted about 8 years ago i am 56 will it cause me any health problems if not removed?

Possibly...: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) , an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is a foreign body designed to be removed after 5 years. It should be easy to remove but if left in place, can migrate over time even into or even through the uterus. It is best to have it removed.
