What you should know about the Mirena IUD
A number of lawsuits have been filed by women who allege Bayer downplayed the seriousness of possible Mirena side effects. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim they experienced serious, and in some cases lifethreatening Mirena complications after the device migrated from its original location, sometimes months or years after placement. Spontaneous device migration can lead to a myriad of problems, according to these lawsuits, including uterine perforations, uterine rupture, infection, scarring and adhesions, organ damage (if the IUD migrates outside of the uterus), and ectopic pregnancy.
Unfortunately, many women were unaware of the potential for dangerous Mirena injuries when they chose this method of birth control. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has even warned Bayer that certain promotional materials for the product downplayed serious Mirena IUD side effects.
Mirena IUD side effects, including uterine perforations, device migration, scarring, intestinal obstructions, organ damage and infections, can have serious, even permanent consequences for a woman’s health and well-being. Any one of these Mirena IUD side effects can require surgical intervention, and place a woman’s fertility, as well as her life, at risk.
