Will the Mirena IUD fall out if I walk a lot?

Mirena is an intrauterine device (IUD) primarily used for contraception and the treatment of certain gynecological conditions. Whether Mirena may fall out with increased walking depends on the specific placement of the device. If the Mirena has been incorrectly placed, it may dislodge with increased walking; however, if properly placed, increased walking generally will not cause it to fall out. If any discomfort occurs, medical advice should be sought promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If during insertion the healthcare provider fails to place the Mirena in the correct position—for example, placing it too close to the cervical os or failing to position it properly at the fundus of the uterus—the device may become dislodged or displaced due to movement or physical activity such as walking.

If the Mirena is correctly placed and the woman has passed the initial adaptation period, she can resume normal daily activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and doing housework, without significant risk of the IUD becoming dislodged.

After Mirena insertion, women should closely monitor their physical condition and follow their doctor's instructions regarding care and follow-up examinations.
