Before inserting the Mirena IUD, it is generally necessary to rule out contraindications and complete required examinations. Sexual intercourse should be avoided for one week prior to insertion. Additionally, a hospital visit is required so that a doctor can assess whether you are a suitable candidate for the Mirena IUD and confirm the absence of contraindications. If contraindications such as infection or bleeding are present, the underlying cause must be identified and the condition treated before considering IUD insertion.
