What is the difference between Mirena and Kyleena?
Both are hormonal IUDs that release levonorgestrel. Kyleena is smaller and contains a lower dose of hormone. Mirena contains a higher dose and is also used in some cases to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. How long each can stay in place depends on its approved use; Dr. Eun will explain this. See Mirena IUD and Kyleena IUD.
