Suggest Remedy For Bleeding After Mirena Removal
Question: Hi i have had mirena removed on monday 1/9/2014 due to bleeing for three weeks had in for 3 months and very heavy bleeding during this time. On removal no bleeding however heavy bleeding yesterday again and today with like a plug of red mucus that has come away is this normal? please note i also have 2 small fibroids which previously before mirena gave longer period 7 8 days however not flooding like this
Brief Answer:
Dysfunctional bleeding from hormonal imbalance
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
As you describe bleeding is from hormonal imbalance .
Hence hormonal imbalance can cause dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Other pathologies that can cause vaginal bleeding are excluded because you have removed Mirena on Monday ,hence your doctor has made per vaginal exam(he/she has excluded cervical causes).
Fibroids do not cause bleeding if they are intramural or serosal.
They can cause bleeding only if they are submucosal.
I exclude that fibroids are submucosal because you have had Mirena .
If bleeding continues for another days with the same flux or it increases you should consult with your doctor .
You may need for a therapy to stop bleeding because having too much can cause anemia .
Take much liquids and iron rich foods .
All the best

Do not concern that you have bleeding with clots because is that you have abundant bleeding.
We cannot predict when the bleeding will stop.
You can take primolut nor three times a day for 9 to 10 days ,but only after you are consulted with your doctor.
