I put Kyleena in 3 months after giving birth, since then I have repeated gingivitis despite respecting all the instructions given by the dentist, can there be a link with the hormonal change?

Gingivitis during the use of a hormonal IUD is not a commonly recognized direct side effect of this method of contraception. Hormonal IUDs, such as hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs), release hormones that mainly affect the uterus and can have systemic effects, but gingivitis is not a typical symptom.
However, as a general rule, hormonal changes can affect oral health. Hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, can affect the blood vessels in the gums, which can lead to increased sensitivity, swelling, and susceptibility to gingivitis. During pregnancy, during the menstrual cycle and menopause, hormonal changes can lead to gum problems, so there is a theoretical possibility that similar effects may occur with the use of a hormonal IUD.
The availability of the Kyleena IUD in pharmacies in Polish can be checked at the following address:
