Hi i have the marina iud and here recently i have been bleeding bright orange and i've been kinda scared ... what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud is one of the safest and most effective birth control options available. It is over 99% effective. Once inserted it can stay in the uterus up to 5 years. It has few side effects. Up to 50% will have no periods within 2 years which people really like. Occasional bleeding and spotting are typical.
