How Long Does Bleeding Typically Last After Copper IUD Insertion?
Question: Hi doctor, I had copper t inserted 3 days ago. it was painful and I felt dizzy and weak and later started bleeding.i am still bleeding. the flow is moderate and feel uneasy at times though there is no pain. how long does the bleeding last after insertion and is there any medication
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Usually, copper T insertion will not cause bleeding. If there is trauma to the uterus while insertion it can lead to infection. I would recommend you to visit your gynecologist to rule out the same.
Only in a few women, there might be increased bleeding in first two periods after insertion. This is self-limiting and need no intervention. This happened due to hormone imbalance caused by the hormone releasing copper-T. I strongly recommend a visit to gynecologist at the earliest to rule out procedure trauma.
Hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.
Regards
