I am getting the Kyleena intrauterine system with levonorgestrel released. What is the difference between a hormonal and non-hormonal IUD?

The main difference between a hormonal IUD and a non-hormonal IUD is that the hormonal IUD, like Kyleena™, contains hormones that can help stop menstruation and bleeding in more women who use it. It is important to store the IUD at the temperature specified on the pharmacy label, inside the house, and not in a car. Weight gain is not a known side effect of this medication or stopping the pill.
