Is Abnormal Menstrual Bleeding After Insertion Of IUD Normal?
I have had an iud for the last 4 years and have never really had any problems until a little over 2 months ago. I started my period and it has not stopped since. Some days its just alot of brown discharge and others is severe cramps and heavy bleeding. Is.this something I should be concerned about?

Thank you for the question.
First, you need to check a pregnancy test. While this is incredibly unlikely, it is the first thing that you need to rule out. Second, it is important to make sure that the IUD has not fallen out or moved. This requires an ultrasound with your doctor. Finally, if there is no other explanation, you might just need a new IUD.
I hope that this helps.
