Continuous Bleeding Since Mirena Insertion. Is There Any Alternative For Tranexa?

Hi I have recently had Mirena and got periods after one week and since then the bleeding was continuous and now even after one month after the start of bleeding there is no sign of relief. In India doctor suggested tranexa 500 but I stay in Dubai and the medication is not available in Dubai. Is there any alternative drug for this bleeding to stop? Thank you

Hello Mrs.Shilpa,

I have gone through your problem.

You are having an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) and now you are suffering from continuous bleeding. You have been prescribed Tranexa 500 which is unavailable at your place.

You need to know the side effects of IUD.
1. Bleeding
2. Pain
3. Pelvic inflammatory disease
4. Uterine perforation
5. Migration

If any patient is having continuous Pain, Bleeding or Pelvic inflammatory disease after IUD insertion, it's always advisable to remove the IUD and go for other methods of contraception.

Tranexa 500 is a drug for immediate control of small hemorrhage. This is a trade name of the drug. This drug will be available even at your place, but with a different name.

My advice is to consult a gynecologist at your place and get her advice regarding IUD continuation and also regarding the drug.

Good luck to you.
