What Is The Reason For Pinky Brownish Discharge After Copper IUD Insertion?
Hello, I had a copper IUD inserted last week today is the 8th day after insertion. Am having a pinkish brownish fleashy discharge what could be causing this. The doctor who inserted my IUD said I would not be able to feel for the strings because they are short and near the cervix wall. He also said I could have sex after a week of insertion but I have been unable to have sex because of this discharge am having. What could be causing this discharge there is no pain or bad odor, is it a sign that I have this IUD removed?

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Irregularities in menstrual period, spotting are common after IUCD insertion.
If you don't have pain, fever or heavy bleeding then there is no need to worry.
Thewe problems usually settle by 2 or 3 cycles.
Thanks
