It Depends: Check with your doctor. If Lysteda is working why change?

Iud: Lysteda is a good product however there might be a little increase risk of thromboembolic events, is expensive and you have to use it every month the Mirena (levonorgestrel) acts locally on the endometrial lining within 6 you could reach amenorrhea.
