I know this sounds dumb but I never really stopped to think about how they take Mirena out? I mean I know how they insert it and what not but I never thought about how.....Ive had it for over a year now and I love it!! Yes, I have gained alittle weight but any birth control can and it has almost taken away all my periods......
Has anyone had it removed and how? I know its kinda uncomfortable when they put it in but does your skin grow back around it? That kinda creeps me out lol......Thank you again and I hope someone can be of help! :)

It can and often is removed. Usually a local anesthetic is injected in the area to numb it, a small incisision is made and the device removed. Stitches are not usually necessary, just keep the wound covered until healed.

The Mirena coil is the same as a standard coil exept it is impregnated with hormones to help with irregular and heavy periods.
They remove it by pulling on the removal cord.

There are photos and full details.
It should be affective for 5 years +
