Do you think i should get my mirena (levonorgestrel) removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you want to: If it is expired, then definitely yes - you should have it removed. If they are left in place, they can cause infections, and even perforation of the uterus even years after the device expires. If you don't like your iud, but it hasn't expired, then it is also a good idea to have it removed.
