Some of the clients who have accepted the LNG IUS can be expected to report the following:
1. Changes in bleeding patterns, including:
• Lighter bleeding and fewer days of bleeding |
• Infrequent bleeding |
• Irregular bleeding |
• No monthly bleeding |
• Prolonged bleeding |
2. Acne
3. Headaches
4. Breast tenderness or pain
5. Nausea
6. Weight gain
7. Dizziness
8. Mood changes
Rare complications of the LNG IUS include perforation of the wall of the uterus by the IUS. This usually heals without treatment. In the very rare case that the woman becomes pregnant with a LNG IUS in place, miscarriages, preterm births or infections may occur.
