A member asked:
I've had mirena (levonorgestrel) for almost 5 years, now i have been diagnosed with alopecia. can this i'd be the cause?

Morena is safe: it is highly unlikely that after 5 years you begin to have any hormonal symptoms from an IUD. The level of hormone shouldn't even be decreasing at this point. Consider another cause.
