Is It Normal To Have Breast Tenderness After Inserting Mirena?
I've had the mirena in for a year and a half now and I don't get periods anymore. Before the mirena I have very bad periods but never breast tenderness. Now all of a sudden my nipples and around them hurt. I can put pressure they are very sore. Is this normal?

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Mirena is progesterone IUCD. The effect is more local which causes delayed or absent period.
The sore heavy breast is due to the hormone.
Try evening primrose oil capsules . It usually provides relief.
Thanks
