I Have An IUD In Place And Have Had It

Posted on Tue, 7 Jan 2020
Question: Brief Answer:
This needs an examination

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Placing of an IUD should not have lead to stopping periods unless it is a hormone containing IUD.

2) If there is light and short or heavy period now, you need to see your gynecologist for an examination and ultrasound scan.

Let me now if you need anymore help.

Regards

I have an IUD in place and have had it since February of 2013 and haven't had a period since it's placement. If I randomly start bleeding - like a super light and short period - should I be concerned?
