Ban Mirena

The following links include information I have found helpful in trying to determine what caused my body to have an autoimmune response and develop Avascular Necrosis. What was your experience with Mirena (IUD)? Please share below this post, in the comment section.

*I am not a doctor, so please take this information for what it is worth*

Many women have reported autoimmune symptoms and diseases after using Mirena. It's possible that this could be from the silicone used in the device. Here is some information about Silicone and Autoimmunity.

What your doctor should tell you, but doesn't: The daily release amounts of LNG (the main (hormonal) ingredient) are 1.5-fold higher in women with a low body weight or within reproductive age. The LNG can become systemic, meaning it affects the ENTIRE body (and not just the cervix, which it is promoted to do).

This is one of MANY threads where women who have used Mirena are experiencing hip or join pain. This could be because of the hormones or some other factor. Unfortunately, I could not find much research on this topic.

This summary describes a young woman who developed osteoporosis after a daily dose of LNG from an IUD.

This is a clinical trial, which seems to shows that almost 30 percent of women who were using an oral LNG experienced a decrease in Bone Mineral Density.
