Information
Levosert is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) used for long-term birth control and in some cases, to manage heavy menstrual bleeding. It releases a small amount of levonorgestrel, a form of progestin, directly into the uterus. This action helps to prevent pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm, thinning the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, and in some cases, inhibiting the release of eggs from the ovaries. Levosert is designed to be effective for several years, offering a convenient and reversible form of contraception for those seeking an alternative to daily or monthly contraceptive methods. Its use should be supervised by a healthcare professional to ensure proper placement and to monitor for any potential side effects.
