Unfortunately there are no facilities for the safe insertion of a Mirena coil at the clinic. Most women access this through their GP or local sexual health clinic. You can find your local clinic via the NHS sexual health clinic finder.
The Mirena is particularly useful for women in the perimenopause when it has the following advantages:
- effective contraception for up to 5 years of use
- reduced menstrual blood loss. Heavy periods can be common in perimenopause.
- effective protection for the lining of the womb as part of HRT
The Mirena can be combined with estrogen as a patch, gel, spray or tablet as part of combined HRT.
