Mirena is contraception that can be inserted into the uterus for long term use. This insertion is done with a proper clinical procedure. The Mirena is a device that may be classified as a hormonal Intrauterine device (IUD). This device releases a kind of progestin, which prevents the sperm from travelling to the egg to fertilise it. This hormone basically makes the cervical mucus thick and makes the uterine lining thin, so that ovulation gets suppressed.

Hello.
Mirena is a hormonal (progestin) iud. Some breast cancers are hormone sensitive and hence mirena is not advised for patients suffering from or at risk of developing breast cancer. However, there is no definite evidence at present that mirena increases the risk of breast cancers, although it is suggested to decrease risk of endometrial cancer.
If you are still concerned, you may opt for a non-hormonal iud. Pls discuss with your doctor regarding differences in efficacy of the two.more
