Abstract

Abstract:

Introduction: Preventing pregnancy is what contraception is all about. This might be a tool, a drug, a technique, or a habit.

Aim of work: To determine if levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena) use is acceptable among Egyptian women

Patients and Methods: 500 women who were using levonorgestrel IUDs (Mirena) received contraceptive services at the facilities in Minia and Maghaghuh over the course of this research.

Results: This table displays a mean age of 28.56 years and a mean BMI of 26.71 kg/m2. While just 45.8% of the patients were urban and 54.2% were in rural areas.

Discussion: Due to their excellent effectiveness, safety, simplicity, and affordability, intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the second most popular reversible contraceptive method used globally.

Conclusion: In our setting, there is a low incidence of levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena) use and a high rate of cessation owing to adverse effects.

Recommendations: It is advised that larger, comparative observational studies or well planned randomized controlled trials be used in future research.
