Asked By:RoyalBooty in Wisconsin, WI

I've had the Mirena IUD inserted for the past few years now and as a result, I do not menstruate; I'm wanting to know if It needs to be removed before my surgery... Mirena is an FDA-approved intrauterine device (IUD) that is recommended for women who’ve had a child. It’s made of soft, flexible plastic. Getting Mirena is nonsurgical, and placement is done by your healthcare provider during a routine office visit.
