Many females who have no birthing planning and dysmenorrhea, they very suitable for placing Mirena, but before placement, you should think about it clearly, because although Mirena has many advantages, it also causes a lot of side effects.

The use of Mirena can make the endometrium thinner, gland atrophy, and reduce the production of prostaglandin. Levonorgestrel can inhibit uterine contraction and achieve the effect of treating dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it can treat perimenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding and prevent endometrial lesions.

The primary function of Mirena is to inhibit the atrophy of endometrium and induce the reduction of menstrual volume and even amenorrhea.

Even if the Mirena is displaced, as long as it is still in the uterine cavity, it will release levonorgestrel and be used on the endometrium, which still has a therapeutic effect.

 

Although Mirena has a good curative effect, it still has some side effects, such as irregular bleeding, which usually occurs in the first few months of the ring, or maybe caused by decidualization of endometrium and exfoliation after atrophy. But these side effects generally disappear after three months. The symptoms of dysmenorrhea in most of the patients can be effectively alleviated or even go.

 

 

However, there are still some patients whose dysmenorrhea can not be improved or relapsed after improvement. Most of the conditions are caused by the large size of uterus combined with larger adenomyoma, which is not suitable for the use of Mirena. Some other factors which make Mirena displaced are also the leading causes.
