What Are The Side Effects Of Having An IUD?

I have a question about my period before when I was younger I had got pregnant and I had the baby and I decided to get the IUD (intrauterine device). I kept IUD in for five years and I got it taken out, for that five years I did not have a period at all. And before I got on the IUD I was on the birth-control patch for three years and I had a period Every 28 to 29 days and I only would bleed for three-five days but it was always a very light period. But now that IUD has been out for two years and I have a period but it is extremely light I could wear my pad for all four days, that s how light it is. And mostly my periods are like a brown color, like old blood. Now I am over weight, I have recently lost 30 pounds and I do see a difference in my periods. There s a little more blood than before but still not enough as in when I had them before. I ve been trying to get pregnant but no luck. I went to the doctor, they sent me to get a scope and did check my normal levels, she said everything came back fine. I m just scared that that IUD did something to my body.

Hello,

Please ask your doctor to rune out the thyroid hormone profile as this appears hypothyroidism rather than IUD induced damage. In case this has been already done I feel hormonal level need to be checked as IUD with hormonal contraceptives can change the hormone profile adverse for pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
