A member asked:
I have the kyleena hormonal iud and i want to start taking maca root capsules for some of its benefits but apparently it increases fertility too, will that affect me at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We do not have enough info in supplements for a correct advice. However, without evidence-based fact, I doubt maca root can negate the effect of kyleena IUD. Good luck.
