Our study investigated the personal experience and satisfaction of patients with menstrual disorders treated with the Mirena (R) intrauterine system in secondary care. A retrospective questionnaire was sent to all 1,100 women treated with a Mirena (R) intrauterine system in the Menstrual Disorders Clinic between 1995-2003 at the Queens' Medical Centre, Nottingham, England. A total of 1,056 (96%) women responded and were included in the study. The majority (73%) of women continued to use the Mirena (R). The women reported a decrease in the heaviness, frequency and pain associated with their period. The commonest side-effect experienced was spotting (19%). Women ranked their satisfaction on a scale of 1-10, with a mean score of 7.07/10. The majority of women are satisfied with the Mirena (R) as a treatment for menstrual disorders. Less than 5% of the women required subsequent operative treatment for menstrual disorders following treatment with the Mirena (R).
