Many women, understanding the dangers of oral contraceptives, have started looking to alternatives such as IUD. Of particular interest to married women who have one or more children and have not ruled out having more, IUDs are designed to block unwanted pregnancies while remaining easy to remove should a woman wish to become pregnant.
Mirena, one of the most popular IUDs, releases the hormone disruptor levonorgestrel. Since its release on the market, Mirena has been linked to decreased libido, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, and a host of other issues. None, however, are serious as migration of the device into the abdominal cavity, which can have permanent consequence.
