A member asked:

I have endometrial hyperplasia, i was on mirena (levonorgestrel) but it was expelled out, and it made me a mess. would skyla be any better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe less effective: Skyla is slightly smaller and has less hormone in it. As a treatment for endometrial hyperplasia it will probably be less effective but it might not be expelled as readily either. It is worth discussing further with your doctor.
