does mirena cause hair loss?
Yes, that can be a problem related to Mirena use. Some women also experience hair loss using other hormonal contraceptives such as depo and the pill. There can be other reasons for hair loss as well. Alopecia (loss of hair) is listed in the physician information on the Mirena website as an adverse reaction occurring in less than 5% of subjects. You’ll probably need to have Mirena removed to have any hope of the hair loss stopping. Even then you may not stop losing hair immediately.
