Private Mirena IUD Services for Gynaecological Conditions in Birmingham and The Midlands
At Midlands Women’s Health, we provide expert Mirena IUD (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) insertion and removal performed by experienced consultant gynaecologists in a private, safe, and supportive environment.
Mirena is a hormonal IUD specifically used for managing gynaecological conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), endometriosis, adenomyosis, or endometrial protection during hormone therapy.
Our clinic offers personalised fitting, expert management, and ongoing follow-up to ensure comfort and effective symptom relief.
What Is a Mirena IUD?
Mirena is a T-shaped, hormone-releasing device inserted into the uterus. It gradually releases levonorgestrel, a hormone that thins the uterine lining and reduces menstrual bleeding and pain.
It is commonly used to treat:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB)
- Painful periods due to endometriosis or adenomyosis
- Endometrial protection during oestrogen therapy
- Management of period-related anaemia
Mirena offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for women with these conditions.
Indications for Mirena Insertion
Mirena is recommended for women experiencing:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding affecting daily life
- Severe period pain due to endometriosis or adenomyosis
- Irregular or abnormal uterine bleeding
- Need for endometrial protection during oestrogen therapy
- Non-surgical management of uterine conditions
Mirena is suitable for women seeking effective symptom management without major surgery.
Mirena Insertion Procedure
Mirena insertion is a short outpatient procedure:
- A consultation and pelvic examination determine suitability.
- The Mirena device is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
- The placement is checked for comfort and correct positioning.
- Patients are advised on possible cramping, spotting, and follow-up.
The procedure usually takes 5–15 minutes, with mild cramping similar to period pain.
Mirena Removal Procedure
Mirena removal is quick and outpatient:
- A speculum is inserted to visualise the strings.
- The device is gently removed by your gynaecologist.
- Removal may be followed by replacement if continued symptom management is required.
Removal is usually painless, and normal activities can resume immediately.
