Mirena must be removed after 5 years. If you want to continue using Mirena after those 5 years, you can choose to have another one placed. Talk with your healthcare provider about replacing your Mirena before your scheduled appointment to have your current Mirena removed. He or she can then place your new Mirena during the same office visit.
