A member asked:
I have a migrated mirena iud that has been in for 5 years and 8months and hasn't been removed yet could it get infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena?: If it has migrated then it has to be removed for sure, regardless of how long it's been there. If it has been in the uterus for 5 years and it was a Mirena then it would be time to remove it.
