What Causes Light Menstrual Bleeding Post Removal Of An IUD?
I’m a 38 year old female. I had a copper IUD for about 4 years and had it removed recently around the end of July this year. I’ve had 3 periods so far but they only lasted for about 2 and half days, with light bleeding. My usual periods always lasted 5 days with heavy bleeding for 2 days. Can you tell me what’s going on?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my clinical experience, the post IUD removal vaginal bleed can be related to hormone imbalance, procedure related or others.
* It usually takes a period of one cycle to get it settled down to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
