Levodiva Device Reviews

Levodiva Device is a hormone-releasing device for long-term birth control (contraception). It is a T-shaped intrauterine device (IUD) placed inside the womb (uterus) where it slowly releases the hormone levonorgestrel.

Levodiva Device is also used to treat heavy periods (heavy menstrual bleeding). It should be inserted by the doctor or healthcare professional. It remains implanted in your womb for several years and is safe to use effectively for 5 years. However, it can be removed easily when you plan a pregnancy. You should follow your doctor's advice while using this device. Your doctor may suggest a follow-up examination after 4-12 weeks of inserting the device.

Common side effects include cramps, headache, migraine, bleeding, and dizziness after device insertion. Consult your doctor if it lasts for more than 30 minutes. Before using this device, inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works.

How Levodiva Device Works

Levodiva Device is placed inside the womb (uterus) where it slowly releases the hormone levonorgestrel. This hormone may work in several ways. It may thicken cervical mucus, which affects sperm movement in the uterus. It also makes the lining of the uterus thinner. It may also stop the release of egg from the ovaries. These actions may held responsible for its various therapeutic effects.

Benefits of Levodiva Device

In Contraception: Levodiva Device is a device that stops you from getting pregnant. It is a reliable and safe method for contraception, if used correctly. It does not interrupt with sex and you can lead a normal routine life without any worries. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.
In Heavy menstrual bleeding: Levodiva Device slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation.
