Hi so I have had a Copper iud put in place two years ago and since February I have had my period everyday it just doesn t stop more days are heavier then other days. I feel fluttering in my lower abdominal region and higher up under my ribs no sickness no pain. Also I can still feel the iud string. is there a chance I could be pregnant? or something else? maybe menorrhagia?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Slight abdominal discomfort is common with IUD Including copper-T.

If symptoms persist, better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated. We have to check whether the device misplaced or not.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
