Dr. Lv Aiming
The Mirena IUD is effective for treating functional bleeding. Using Mirena can transform the proliferative endometrium into secretory phase endometrium, thereby treating dysfunctional uterine bleeding and alleviating symptoms of various abnormal bleedings. If bleeding does not subside after a period of time, it is recommended to visit a hospital for further examination and receive additional treatment based on the doctor's evaluation. During this period, patients must rest adequately, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from consuming raw, cold, or irritating foods in their diet.
