This study looks at how a hormonal IUD (Mirena) affects hemoglobin levels—the part of blood that carries oxygen—in women using it for birth control. It may help improve anemia over time.
This study compares two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) – one that uses copper and one that uses a hormone called levonorgestrel – to see how they affect the natural bacteria and protective barrier in the vagina. It aims to find out if one type is better at helping young women stay healthy and prevent infections, including HIV.
This study tests whether a new inserter tool is safe and works well for placing a copper IUD called GYNEFIX. You may help researchers learn if the placement is easier and the device stays properly in place over 3 years.
This study tests a new type of intrauterine device (IUD) called LevoCept that releases a hormone to prevent pregnancy. The goal is to see how well it works, how safe it is, and whether it is comfortable for you.
This study looks at how different progestogen treatments (like the Mirena IUD) are used to protect the uterus lining in women over 40 who take estrogen therapy. It will help understand which options work best for preventing endometrial problems, and you won't receive any experimental treatment – just sharing your health information.
