Contraception

Intrauterine device with silver core

The intrauterine device Silvercare and Silvercare mini is an option for patients who want to avoid pregnancy and do not want a hormonal method or have a medical contraindication to the use of hormonal contraceptives.

Benefits:

The Silvercare mini option is smaller and can be used in patients who have not had pregnancies
Lasts up to 5 years
It is highly safe, with an effectiveness of 95% to 99%
It can be removed at any time, after which normal fertility will return quickly

It’s important to remember that it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so the use of condoms is recommended as well.

Mirena and Kyleena Intrauterine Device

The Mirena device was launched on the market in 2000. It has been on the market for 20 years, which shows that it has benefited many patients and that multiple studies have confirmed its safety.

This device contains 52 milligrams of levonorgestrel, and the Kyleena device is newer and contains a lower dose of levonorgestrel (19.5 milligrams). It is smaller and is usually placed in patients who have not had pregnancies.

Benefits:

Contraceptive action

Thickens the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching or fertilizing the egg.
Thins the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and inhibits ovulation.

Prevents pregnancy for up to 5 years

It can be removed at any time, after which normal fertility will return quickly.

The Mirena device can reduce menstrual bleeding after three or more months of use. Around 20 percent of women stop having menstrual periods after using it for one year.

The Mirena device can also reduce:

Severe menstrual pain and pain related to abnormal growth of the endometrial tissue outside the uterus (endometriosis)
The risk of pelvic infections
The risk of developing endometrial cancer

Because of these non-contraceptive benefits, Mirena is often prescribed to women who experience the following conditions:

Heavy menstrual bleeding
Cramping or pain during menstruation
Endometriosis
Abnormal growth of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia)
Abnormal growth of endometrial tissue into the muscular wall of the uterus (adenomyosis)
Anemia
Fibroids
