Posted on Mon, 29 Oct 2012

Question: I would like to ask about a possible relation between Avascular Necrosis and Mirena (IUD).

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

The only possible relation is Mirena (IUD) triggers your body in autoimmune state which is risk factor for developing avascular necrosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

If it is just a state, is it possible that the autoimmune symptoms could disapear? Or is autoimmunity permenant? Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for writing again.

Autoimmunity is permanent & it is not possible to eradicate it completely.

There are periods of remission in autoimmune disease & we can prolong it with immuno-modulator but can't eradicate it permanently.

Please use any answer clarification before you close our discussion and rate my answer.

Wishing you good health.
