Mirena Spiral
In Istanbul, the Mirena IUD, implanted by Op. Dr. Ebru Ünal, offers both a reliable method of contraception and a medical solution for controlling heavy menstrual bleeding. This small, T-shaped device, placed inside the uterus after expert evaluation and personalized planning, prevents pregnancy for 5 years by releasing low doses of hormones. Performed in a sterile clinical setting, this procedure eliminates the need for daily medication while aiming to support the healthy structure of the uterine lining.
Comfortable Protection and Hormonal Balance
Mirena, thanks to the progestin hormone it secretes, thickens the fluid in the cervix, preventing sperm from passing through, and thins the inner lining of the uterus. This tissue regeneration process significantly reduces menstrual bleeding, alleviates pain, and allows the body's natural processes, such as skin tone equalization, to continue in hormonal balance.
Hormonal IUDs and Effective Approaches
Mirena is an ideal treatment option for women experiencing excessive menstrual bleeding or seeking long-term, effortless contraception. Suitable candidates for Mirena include those at risk of anemia due to heavy bleeding, those with endometriosis, or individuals seeking five years of uninterrupted protection. This method provides high protection from the moment it is implanted in the uterus and is not felt during physical activity or sexual activity, preserving daily comfort.
