My daughter age 32 got mirena IUD inserted less than 1 week ago. She said she thinks her skin is yellowing (jaundice) appearing. Of course has cramps and bleeding which she expected but had bad headache yesterday and noticed this change in skin color. What can this be caused from in the body and y.this IUD?
Hallow Dear, Mirena is an intrauterine device that contains Progestational medicine. Both Estrogen and Progesterone are metabolized and intoxicated in Liver. Hence, these medicines do increase the load on the liver function. Therefore, the women with recent history of Jaundice are not prescribed hormonal contraceptives. Please get Liver function test of your daughter performed on her blood. With suspicion of Jaundice with hormonal contraception, you should report to your Gynecologist ASAP. Meanwhile, she should consume plenty of honey and juice of tender castor leaves. I hope this helps you.
