Advantages of the Mirena spiral

Spiral Mirena is a unique invention of our days, which guarantees a sufficiently high percentage of protection from unwanted pregnancy. Let's notice, that the absolute guarantee gives only absence of a sexual life as that. In all other cases, the possibility of getting pregnant is always - both with interrupted sexual intercourse, and with sex with a condom, not to mention other, more questionable methods of contraception.

The Mirena spirals are arranged in appearance, just like everyone else. At the end, the spiral diverges T-shaped antennae, which abut the uterus, and the vertical end contains a tail that is released into the vagina. The extra end of the tail is cut off for convenience. However, the difference between Mirena is that the vertical part of the spiral contains a capsule with the hormone levonorgestrel, which is gradually released into the uterus. The term of this mechanism is five years. Therefore, it is for this period that the hormonal spirals of Mirena guarantee protection from pregnancy. At installation it is necessary to remember strictly term for not to forget to change contraception.

The essence of the Mirena spiral is that in the uterine cavity levonorgestrel results in a thickening of the cervical mucus, through which it is very difficult to get through the spermatozoa. Most of them die at the very beginning of the "marathon", and those who achieve "better indicators" are no longer capable of fertilization. In addition, the action of the hormone will thin out the uterine mucosa, so if we assume that the fusion of the cells has occurred, then the attachment will not happen - such an embryo will not sink into the uterus and simply die without food. If the spiral Mirena is removed, and you can remove it at any time, then the possibility of conception is restored and the woman can again have children. The great advantage of Mirena is that it operates for all five years with equal force, that is, a woman should not be afraid that by the fourth year the effect of the spiral will weaken.

The Mirena spiral is installed , like all spirals, either on the last day of the month or after childbirth one and a half months after the examination of the gynecologist. At the reception the doctor examines the condition of the sexual organs of a woman, determines the status of the uterus, whether there are contraindications to the Mirena spiral. After this, the spiral tube is inserted into the uterine cavity, without changing its position, the conductor is removed, thereby leaving the spiral in the right place and in the desired position. Antennae, which are excreted in the vagina, are cut to the optimal size. The time required to install the spiral is minimal, so the woman does not need to release the procedure for the whole day. The introduction is painless. Usually the uterus perceives any spiral, as a foreign body, so after installing the spiral, it will try to push it out. This can be accompanied by pain, as with menstruation and no more. To remove the pain, you can use the usual analgesic.

After installing the Mirena spiral, many women notice improvement in their well-being during menstruation. The pains become less severe, bleeding is scarce, short-term. Practically there is no exit of parts mucous. Similar changes are due to the fact that the uterine membrane is thinner for the duration of levonorgestrel. Some women after the spiral Mirena did not menstruate, although they are capable of reproducing offspring. According to doctors, such conditions are useful for those who suffer from profuse menstruation, leading to a significant loss of blood, iron deficiency anemia, etc.

The advantages of the Mirena spiral are obvious - it reliably protects the body from pregnancy, does not keep in constant fear for unintended conception, does not have a negative impact on the reproductive system, has a reversible effect.
