A member asked:
I've had a mirena (levonorgestrel) iud and have had it for 4 years now. are there side effects from the hormones released from the iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very few: There have been patient reports of mood shifts, and wt gain but these are rare reports. The vast majority of patients have had no adverse reports. The more serious concerns, like uterine perforation, usually happen before 4 years and are also unusual.
