A member asked:
Will the merina iud make me put on weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it will not: The hormone of the Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD tends to work locally in your uterus and pelvis to reduce your risks of pregnancy very effectively. Having a Mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted and practicing "safe sex" , using condoms to reduce your risk of sexually transmitted infections will keep you healthy and happy. Not eating well balanced nutritious meals and not exercising regularly will "make you put on weight".
