Patient's question:
Health consultation description: After using the Mirena IUD, what are the side effects of taking Gongxuening? Will it interfere with menstruation? Menstruation is still abnormal. Is it not suitable to wear it? Have you been wearing it for more than a year?Doctor's answer:
Gongxuening itself has the effect of topical medication, and it generally does not conflict with the intrauterine device (IUD). Traditional Chinese medicines are usually without significant side effects. The Mirena is a progestin, which has a reparative effect on the endometrium. Generally, the progestin released by Mirena can last for more than five years. Do not use Gongxuening during menstruation, otherwise it may lead to an increase in menstrual flow and a shortening of the menstrual period.
