After The Implantation Of Copper T Experiencing Heavy Bleeding
Hi , I had a Copper-T put on DEC 2011, its almost an year now. Since then I am facing heavy bleeding during menstrual cycle, changing almost 6 to 7 pads a day for 8 days in a row. This kind of bleeding is causing problem in my daily routine. Is it ok ? or should I seek medication.

Hello,
Heavy bleeding is known side effect of CuT. You can take tranexamic acid 500 three times a day during menses. This tablet is to be taken after food. You should take any antacid before food . Tranexamic acid causes acidity in many patients.
If this doesn't relieve get your thyroid profile done.
If this also doesn't relieve you can go for another method of contraception.
Hope this helps.
