A member asked:
What does it feel like to have your cervix dilated before mirena (levonorgestrel) insertion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena (levonorgestrel) insertion: Cervical dilatation usually unnecessary. If never had a baby, taking 400mcg Cytotec (misoprostol) 4-6 hours before, facilitates insertion and dilatation rarely required. I have never needed to dilate anyone for this.
