Hi,
Excessive bleeding can sometimes happen after insertion of IUD. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
As the first line of management, you can take drugs like Tranexamic Acid for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
