A Mirena IUD lasts 5 years actually. IUD = Intrauterine device, costs few hundred dollars, not entirely sure, but probably ~ 300? Most commonly nowadays IUD contain locally releasing hormones, such as Mirena. The failure rate of birth control pills is up to about 3% per year due to imperfect use. The failure rate of IUD is only about 0.2%. A family doctor can place an IUD, but some will refer to a gynecologist.
mirena 会影响内分泌的,我自从用了以后,月经量变得很少很少,也不准时。医生说对身体没有影响,可是我总觉得不舒服,毕竟每月的那一次虽然麻烦,却也是身体健康的表示,所以最后还是不用了。可能是每个人的反映不一 ... 9 ]2 o- U k) N' }任我逍遥 发表于 2010-6-3 14:46

是这样吗?我月经本来就少,不知会不会更少了 我买了个Mirena暂时用不到还放在那里,反正以前只听说有人带不住环,没听过这个哈。。, o, D6 @. O3 U ~1 Y+ V, d
大家办保险时好好问问,也可能是100%报的,我的打电话过去,有人说80%,但我看手册上birth control的应该全报,就告诉他们了,最后还全报了。。。更很奇怪的是,NOVA这种便宜的不报,就报将近400刀的这个Mirena, safeway\costco是最便宜的。。。
