Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is defined as excessive menstrual blood loss totaling 80 mL or more (approximately 6 tablespoons) in a single cycle.
You may have HMB if you:
- Wear both a tampon and a pad for double protection
-Soak through a pad or tampon every 2 to 3 hours
- Have ever stained your clothes as a result of a heavy period
-Have to get up in the middle of the night to change your pad or tampon
-Sleep with a towel for extra protection
as for Mirena it reduces heavy periods
Mirena is the first and only birth control that is FDA-approved to treat heavy periods in women who choose intrauterine birth control.
Mirena rapidly reduces heavy periods. In fact, in a clinical trial of Mirena in women with heavy periods, the majority had an
80% reduction in bleeding as early as 3 months, and a 90% reduction at 6 months.
primolut nor (Norethisterone)is a man-made form of progesterone, a naturally occurring female sex hormone. It is referred to as a progestogen and it has a number of uses. Low doses are used to prevent pregnancy, or as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Medium-strength tablets are used to treat heavy periods (menorrhagia), and high-strength tablets are sometimes used in some female cancers .
depending on what you aim for i mean if you need a contraceptive method and you want to choose then you must choose MIRENA because Primolut Nor is not used as a contraceptive.if your concern is the heavy period then mirena and primolut nor work on this, mirena will be put for one time lasts for 5 years while the Primolut Nor must be taken every day at the same time so there is a probability of missing the dose,mirena costs more than the pill
so it is up to you to depend what fits to you and the purpose of taking one of them
