Skin Health, Hormones, and Why Check-Ups Matter

Skin condition mirrors the level of health overall. A regular skin check-up is an essential part of preventive care. Detection of unusual moles, pigmentation, and lesions at an early state reduces the risks of serious health issues like cancer. A professional skin check-up includes an examination, risk assessment, and advice regarding sun protection/skin care.

For women who make use of hormonal-based contraceptives such as Mirena, monitoring various noticeable changes on the skin is essential. Although Mirena is used as an effective means of birth control and relieving menstrual cramps associated with heavy periods, some hormonal changes may rarely affect acne and skin pigmentation.

Whether you are using Mirena or not, regular skin checks will help you spot problems before they become more serious. If you are newly using Mirena and have noticed persistent problems, it is important to talk to your GP. Your doctor will help you understand whether these changes are due to Mirena or not.
