Patient's question:
I already have two children and am afraid of getting pregnant again by accident. I want to use the Mirena IUD to continue breastfeeding. Could using this type of IUD increase the risk of breast cancer?What kind of help I need: Will using the Mirena IUD lead to breast diseases?
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you can consider using the Mirena IUD. Breast diseases may be related to high estrogen levels, and have little to do with progesterone. The small amount of progesterone released by the Mirena IUD primarily acts on the endometrium and has minimal interference with the breasts. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain clean external genitalia at all times, avoid spicy, cold, and raw foods, take care to prevent colds, and maintain a regular work schedule. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can using the Mirena IUD cause breast diseases?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
