General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Mirena coil removal often causes heavy bleeding or intermittent bleeding. It is because of the excess estrogen( lack of daily dose of progesterone) & thus hormonal imbalance due to sudden removal of the coil. It gets normal in a few months. Since you have polyp, bleeding in excess can be due to it. Take iron tonic/tabs, once daily. However, visit your gynae & report if bleeding is too heavy, you need to be physically examined to avoid any emergency conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
