General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Commonly removal of Mirena IUD is followed with spotting or bleeding. Some women experience it for 24 or 48 hours while some may get for a few days to a week or 10 days. Some get very heavy bleeding after Mirena IUD removal. As the body adjusts with the hormonal changes the bleeding reduces but may remain irregular for a few months. In case of heavy bleeding, pain & discomfort contact your gynecologist immediately & get clinically examined to rule out any life threatening pathology.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
