Mirena IUD Insertion Package

The Mirena IUD is a hormonal contraceptive device used as a long-term birth control method, which is good for 3-5 years. Mirena releases a low, continuous dose of a synthetic progestin hormone called levonorgestrel directly into the uterus. Unlike birth control pills, this has a local rather than a systemic effect.

The Mirena IUD prevents pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus, inhibiting sperm movement, and thinning the uterine lining. For some individuals, the Mirena IUD can significantly lessen menstrual bleeding and cramping and reduce the progression of endometrial hyperplasia to cancer.

Kindred’s Mirena IUD Insertion Package is an outpatient procedure. The initial OBGYN consult is required in-clinic for your doctor to assess your health history and physical condition prior to IUD insertion. A pap smear and transvaginal ultrasound are also required prior to insertion, to mitigate and address any potential infection or cervical abnormalities before you are deemed eligible for the IUD. An infection is a contraindication to the IUD and must be treated before insertion. Once treated or if no infection or uterine abnormalities are seen on the transvaginal ultrasound, the IUD may be inserted.

Please note: This package may only be purchased after proper endorsement from an OBGYN. Book a consultation with a Kindred OBGYN today to know more about your birth control options.

A recent copy of your doctor's prescription is required before checking out.
