[quote=Anonymous]My now 18 y.o., who is not sexually active, has always had this problem, and about 1.5 years ago her pede recommended the Kyreena (sp) IUD. (This IUD is designed for teens and has a slimmer style) The reason it's superior to a pill (IMO) is because the hormones stay local, unlike the pill, which affects your whole body. An added benefit for some is that the IUD hormones also prevents the sperm from fertilizing the egg, (vs 'aborting' a fertilized egg) in case that is a concern. The one thing is to make sure the doctor specializes in teens, because the insertion can hurt more (and be more scary) if the teen has never been sexually active.[/quote]
