Mirena IUD Update from Dr Niamh Logue 👩⚕️ Exciting news! The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the agency in Australia that regulates our use of medicines and medical devices, has approved the Mirena IUD for contraception for up to 8 years. Here's what you need to know: If you have a Mirena IUD in place or are planning to get one for contraception, it can now be left in place for up to 8 years. If you have a Mirena to help control heavy periods, it still needs to be changed every 5 years. For those using Mirena as part of menopausal hormone therapy (HRT), it also needs to be replaced every 5 years. This update is specifically for contraception. For other uses, the 5-year replacement guideline remains the same. Stay informed and book a consultation if you have any questions about your Mirena IUD! 🌿 #WomensHealth #MirenaIUD #ContraceptionUpdate #SurfcoastWomensHealth #HereToHelp #HealthcareForWomen
