Mirena
Has anyone had one fitted? I've got to have one done under general anaesthetic. A Mirena is a small plastic, T-shaped device containing a progestogen hormone (levonorgestrel), it is fitted into the womb where it realeses the hormone slowly over a period of five years.I've got alot of irregualar and really bad bleeding with my periods (I thought I was going through the change but I'm not .... and I'm 54
. )I've been looking up about Mirena on the Internet and I've read some bad things about it and how it can effect women, I'm a bit worried to say the least
Any information is welcomed on this product, thanks.

Re: Mirena
I had IUDs fitted and found them very easy to get on with.I think they were simply 'mechanical' in their effect - I don't think there was any hormone in them. They were contraceptive of course, not therapeutic.
Is your concern the device or the hormone? Bet there's far less hormone than any pill.
I wouldn't be too worried, in that if it doesn't suit it can be removed quite simply - it's easily reversible.
Good luck

Re: Mirena
Sorry can't really help here but to say I know the kinesiologist I used to see mentioned how the detox (the one I posted in food and drink) is meant to help women going through 'the change' - and with it they don't need those hysterectomies or something like that. Sorry I can't remb the exact details - but I am a firm believer in how diet is key to our health and well being.Hope you feel better soon!
