I have a menses that lasts longer than normal 3 - 5 days, then it only comes at night on the days after the 5th day. No bleeding at all during the day. What can be wrong? Yes I am overweight and alittle under stress . But this started when I had the Mirena inserted and has since had it removed but it is still happening. How can I stop this and what can be done?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
IUD inserted ( mirena) and removed .
Now this type of the bleeding we call as irregular bleeding or dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
May be due to ,
1 Uterus disease ( including cervix) , can be confirmed by physical examination by a gynecologist since mirena is removed so physical examination will find out any disease during or after removal of mirena .
However chances are very less because mirena do,'t damage any organ.
2 Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease ( pcod) , this is the most common cause in young female , get in ultrasound of abdomen including ovaries to find out any pcod.
If then consult a gynecologist and get his opinion and treatment .
3 Less common cause if blood disorder , if above reasons don't present.
Good luck.
