A Mirena IUD should be replaced every 5 years, as its effectiveness may diminish after this period. However, if you experience any complications, such as pain, unusual bleeding, or signs of infection, it's important to consult your healthcare provider sooner. Additionally, if you want to conceive or no longer wish to use hormonal contraception, you should also have it removed. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can help monitor its condition and timing for replacement.
