FSide Effects & Health Risks of Mirena IUS
Common side-effects of the Mirena IUS include cramps, dizziness, or feeling faint while the IUD is being inserted. Sometimes, the cramping involves severe pain. Changes in menstrual bleeding are common. Women may have bleeding and spotting between periods, especially during the first few months. Sometimes the bleeding is heavier than usual, however, the bleeding usually becomes lighter than usual and may become irregular. Mirena makes the lining of the uterus thin, and this thinning causes lighter periods. Twenty percent of women completely stop having periods after using Mirena for a year.
One common problem experienced by Mirena users is the development of a cyst on the ovary. About 10% of women using Mirena will develop an ovarian cyst. These cysts may disappear on their own in a month or two. However, cysts can cause pain and sometimes will need surgery

Hi,
Sorry, I don't know much about the "Mirena".. What does your Dr. say about the cysts? How were they found? You might check out the top right of this page "Health Pages" . It has a lot of information about Ovarian Cysts.
Cysts are very common in younger women, but you must ask the Dr. about the IUD /Mirena. I truly have no idea about that.

You need to ask your question on the Ovarian Cyst Forum.
