A member asked:

I just got the mirena (levonorgestrel) put in wo weeks ago, and am having sharp pains. should i go to urgent care or hospital, or wait to see if it goes away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cramping or other: some pelvic cramping and pain can be expected, usually relieved with the use of Advil or Aleve (naproxen) ( if not allergic); however, any severe pelvic pain, unrelieved with medication should be seen immediately at the ER or UC clinic- NOW!
