Mirena Insertion in Gympie – Effective Long-Term Birth Control & Bleeding Relief

At Gympie Day & Evening Clinic, we offer professional Mirena (hormonal IUD) insertion, delivering reliable long-acting contraception along with relief from heavy menstrual bleeding ideal for women seeking both pregnancy prevention and symptom management.

What Is Mirena & How It Works

Mirena is a small T-shaped intrauterine device (IUD) that continuously releases levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone. It thickens cervical mucus, thins the uterine lining, and occasionally suppresses ovulation offering highly effective, low-maintenance birth control for up to eight years. Its typical failure rate is an impressively low 0.1 — 0.2% in the first year.

Beyond contraception, Mirena is FDA-approved to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, and can significantly reduce menstrual flow and cramping, helping to lower the risk of anemia.

What to Expect During the Insertion Procedure

Performed by a trained GP, the Mirena insertion follows a clinically controlled process:

  1. Assessment – A pelvic exam and possibly uterine sounding are conducted to determine proper placement.

  2. Sterile technique – After loading the device into the inserter, it is gently placed through the cervix into the uterus.

  3. Placement confirmation – The IUD arms open in the fundal position; strings are trimmed to ~3 cm for monitoring.

  4. Post-insertion care – Patients may rest briefly; mild cramping or spotting is common and subsides within days to weeks.
