 |
|
| Hi, As you maybe aware I have resently purchased the Hidrex PSP 1000. I have used it about 7 times. I have a Mirena implanted for medical reasons, (not for contraception). A Mirena is a type of IUD. I believe tha Mirena does not contain any metal parts. Is it safe to continue with iontophoresis treatment. Please let me know the side effects. Thanks Jenny |

| Seeing a doctor about Iontophoresis is not as easy as you would think...most of the GP's have not even heard of iontophoresis. I live in Brisbane, Queensland Australia. I have an appointment with a specialist, Dr B Prium at Maroochydore, (1.5 hours drive away) but he cannot see me until May 2013!!!! The only other recommended doctor is a 3 hour flight away! I am having good results with the treatment and wish to continue until I see the doctor in May and was hopeing you could reasure me. I am treating my hands and feet at the same time so I guess the current is running through my whole body? As I understand this would only be a problem if the Mirena contained metal, is this correct? Thanks regards Jenny |

It doesn 't have to be a specialist for Iontophoresis, the important factor is the small current that is delivered and the question is: could something happen if you perform a low current therapy... and this information can be given surely over the phone.
You could also simply ask your gynecologist.
For your information, mirena is (at the moment) completely metal free, it is a full plastic IUD so from this point of view there is no contraindication for a metal free IUD there is only one for IUD´s containing metal.
