How is the mirena coil fitted?

So, you’ve decided that your preferred method of contraception is the Mirena coil. Excellent choice! Before we get into the nitty-gritty details of how it’s fitted, let’s take a moment to appreciate just how cool and effective this little device really is.

What Is A Mirena Coil?

A small but mighty intrauterine device (IUD) that releases synthetic progestin hormone called levonorgestrel inside your uterus, which in turn prevents pregnancy with an efficacy rate 99.9₁₃%. Not only does it last for about five years (depending on when you have it inserted), but it also helps regulate menstrual bleeding – now that’s double-duty worthy of some praise.

The Wonders Of Local Anaesthetic

Now comes the part where we talk about getting a contraceptive device shoved up our hoo-has- not exactly something most people would be excited about right? Well fear not as local anaesthetic will be applied around your cervix and womb to numb any potential pain during insertion- Truly groundbreaking stuff here folks.

Getting In Position For Insertion

Once you’re comfortably lying down on a bed or examination table, legs splayed open like Thanksgiving dinner turkey, a speculum will then be placed in your vagina or ‘down there’ if we’re trying to stay PG13 rated. This opens up your vaginal walls and allows access to your cervix allowing easier fitting whilst minimizing discomfort or trauma

Hands Up If You Love Lubricant 🙌🏽

Next thing coming atcha is an antiseptic solution gently swabbed onto your “reference points” down south for hygiene reasons. Out comes the lubricating gel… can I get an amen?
This helps make insertion smoother while preventing injury which nobody wants.
Done correctly almost guarantees seamless insertion process for the end-user

Insertion Of The Mirena Coil

An applicator containing a folded Mirena coil will then be carefully inserted through your vagina and guided towards your womb through narrow intimidating sounding cervical canal. Once it passes this, we have official entry! The arms of the T-shaped device are released and fling open, meaning that they find a nice cozy spot at the top of your uterus perfect to prevent unwanted pregnancy or guard against future vaginal nasties.

Time To Remove The Applicator #ByeFelicia

The applicator is finally removed after few seconds leaving behind just strings coming out down Yonder – these are helpful indicators during check-up appointments indicating whether you’re still in full protection mode as I mentioned earlier lasts up to 5 years. All things considered- installing an alarm system around our vital ‘baby-making region’.

Cross Your Fingers And Hope For No Complications 🤞🏼

If everything went smoothly which more often than not it does… Congrats welcome aboard! Just like all medical procedures, there may be some slight side effects such as cramping or light bleeding that can stick around for days… even weeks while others experience no side effects depending on individual pain thresholds but hey think about everything under one coat, the advantages outweighs any discomfort.

What Happens After?

Once five years has passed book another appointment before (03 months) to have it either replaced with a new one (if so desired), removed altogether, or switch brands entirely based solely on preference.
Typically easy removal process accomplished by gentle tug via string hanging out from cervix… if we’re lucky enough to feel them (just kidding).

Keeping On Top Of Check Ups And Testing Whenever Needed

As per general hygiene products remember regular visits with both primary physician & gynecologist nothing beats good ole fashion women’s intuition and checking in whenever anything seems off.
Once every few years, pap smears or any other testing is also necessary to maintain overall health and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Not A “One-Size-Fits-All” Method But It Works!

Remember Mirena is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, so speaking with primary physicians can adequately address concerns about long-term effects on fertility or possible counteraction along with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease for certain lifestyles. . All concerns are always under physician discretion long term

And Voila! You’re Done

There you have it – the complete guide on how to get your Mirena coil inserted like a champ. Always keep in mind that everyone’s body is different, so don’t hesitate to contact your doctor if you experience any discomfort during insertion or afterwards.

In Summary…

It might seem daunting at first but once we go through process it’s clear how relatively easy the process…
Mirena IUD provides secure contraceptive benefits that last up to 5 years while regulating menstrual cycle while minimal strings hanging out down south act as timeless protection characteristics for peace of mind … all hail science!
