Birth control device's effect on hemoglobin levels
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a birth control device called the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) affects blood hemoglobin levels in women who choose it for contraception. It may help understand if this device can improve iron levels in the blood.
