Mirena side effects
I had a minor stroke due to haemorrhage in 2018
No problems as such I am fine
Now due to irregular and heavy periods my doctor has suggested mirena but I am concerned if this will effect my immune system or blood pressure
I had a pelvic ultrasound done and also dNc these went fine
Please advise should I keep it naturally until menopause or consider mirena
I am already stressed about monitoring my blood pressure
Currently it's usually normal

Mirena is a harmone containing intra uterine device which will reduce heavy periods by its action locally .hence systemic effects are less which is necessary for u due to ur past history.
If u don't get ur heavy periods sorted out u will end up in anaemia and it's complications.
