No, I wouldn't recommend the Mirena IUD in general but particularly not if there is a history of Breast cancer for you or your immediate family. Hormonal Birth Control does pose a higher risk of breast cancer, it is best to look at non-hormonal options such as a copper IUD, FAM, withdrawal, or barrier methods.

You feel a pain in your right breast but you are a man..is that a sign of breast cancer?

I would say no, because breast cancer is usually painless and a woman doesn't find out until her mamagram or feeling a lump. If there is no lump or discharge from your nipple then I wouldn't worry. If you have a high history of breast cancer in your family, then go have your Dr to examine your breast to get peace of mind. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/malebreastcancer.htmlMale breast cancer is rare. It happens most often to men between the ages of 60 and 70. Risk factors for male breast cancer include exposure to radiation, a family history of breast cancer and having high estrogen levels, which can occur with diseases like cirrhosis or Klinefelter's syndrome.Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin, or discharge of fluid from the nipple. Treatment for male breast cancer is usually a mastectomy, which is surgery to remove the breast. Other treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy.


Does the marina coyle cause cancer?

Unless I am mistaken, the report I read recently concluded that progestogen only contraceptives do not increase the breast cancer or any cancer risk. The reason why women can't use Mirena who have had breast cancer or at risk from it is because breast cancer cells are sensitive to hormones which is why Mirena or any hormonal contraception is not recommended for use in these people.Oestrogen is the main risk factor in hormonal contraception, which of course Mirena does not contain.
