Re: Mirena Question
dome doctors just pop them in. they are planning on giving this to young 14 year olds but this site says
IUD Candidates
A good candidate for an IUD is:
an older woman with children, who is in
a stable, mutually monogamous sexual relationship, and who is
not planning additional pregnancies.
A bad candidate for an IUD is:
a young woman with no children, with
multiple sexual partners, with a history of PID in the past, who would like to have children at some time in the future.
Most women considering an IUD don't fit perfectly into either category, so some judgment must be used. Contraindications to IUD use include:
Known or suspected pregnancy
Known distortion of the uterine cavity
PID past or current
Pregnancy-related infection within the last 3 months
Known or suspected cervical cancer
Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding
Current cervicitis or vaginitis until effectively treated
