Hello
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern
Your doctor is absolutely correct.
Fibroids have a high rate of recurrence.
Mirena is ideal for contraception after childbirth, and it prevents recurrence of fibroids to a great extent.
It is quite safe.
There are some side effects such as scanty menstrual bleeding , but overall it is an excellent choice for contraception as well as for keeping fibroids in check.
Other options for you, considering the history of fibroids , would be the progesterone only pill, such as Celeste.
However, that has a liability of taking pills daily, and if you forget a pill, you are in trouble.
The Mirena eliminates that risk.
So please go ahead with it, lots of women do.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
