Amenorrhea caused by the Mirena intrauterine device requires treatment such as removal of the Mirena or surgical intervention. The use of the Mirena can suppress endometrial proliferation and bleeding, leading to amenorrhea. After removal of the Mirena, menstruation will gradually resume. If a woman experiences amenorrhea, nausea, drowsiness, or similar symptoms while using the Mirena, she should go to the hospital for further examination to determine whether she might be unexpectedly pregnant, and then decide based on the specific situation whether to continue or terminate the pregnancy.
