Does Removal Of Mirena IUD Cause Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Iv had a Mirena in before and it stopped my period and was awesome. I had it removed 2.5 years later because it moved. Now 2 years later i got my second one put in about 3 weeks ago. My period started 7 days ago but its been heavy since it started and hasnt slowed down. is this normal?

Hello,
Slight bleeding can happen with IUD removal.
Generally, it will settle by itself.
As of now, you can take drugs like Tranexamic Acid to control bleeding.
If symptoms persist you can consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
