What Is The Treatment For Weight Gain While On Mirena IUD?

I have Mirena IUD. When I was younger about 12 I had an ulcer, recently the symptoms are increasing and I m sure my ulcer is reoccuring. I have the coffee grounds and couldnt eat or drink anything all night. I ve had Mirena going on 4 years this April. I ve had an abnormal amount of weight gain too. Trying to figure out whats going on with my body until my doctors appt in March.

Hello madam, from the history you have given, well mirena contains levonorgestrel progesterone which has a side effect of weight gain.If the symptoms get worsen you may have to remove the mirena after consultation with your gynaecologist. Mirena has a half life of 5 years.Well only after an examination and kind of lesion (ulcer) can the cause of the ulcer be diagnosed. Hope i was helpful to you.
