Can I have an IUD inserted at 16?

Can I have the IUD inserted at 16? There are supposed to be mini IUDs for girls, is this correct? How long do these mini IUDs last? I'm asking because I want to get an IUD when I'm 26 at the latest (in Vorarlberg).

Dear Sarah

A hormonal IUD is certainly a good solution. You can also have this inserted at 16. There are different models. It's best to ask your gynecologist for advice.
