A member asked:

My wife uses kyleena iud and has borderline personality disorder. her bpd has become much worse. would the iud do this to her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GYNECOLOGIST: It is possible that the hormones with the IUD are affecting your Mother's mental health. Please consult with her Gynecologist and her Psychiatrist to diagnose and treat her symptoms which have become worse. Also whe should have a complete physical exam to rule out illness.
