Can Mirena IUD Be Used To Ease Discomforts Of Menopause?
Hi, I m 46 and considering the Mirena IUD. I ve been on birth control for several years and was interested in the IUD. I m not using it for birth control, I just want to go through menopause with a little as possible side effects. What are your thoughts?
Mirena can lighten the monthly bleeding. It doesn't relieve other menopause symptoms. For that, you might turn to hormone replacement therapy. This therapy may help with he menopause symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
