Had Mirena Inserted For Heavy Periods. Had D&C Done. Have Prolonged Spotting. What To Do?
I had the IUD Mirena put in to help me with heavy periods. I had it put in in January and my periods have improved except i have spotting for up to 10 days after my period ends. I had to have a D&C done last October because i had some tumors and the Dr. thought that would improve my periods. He put the Mirena in as a last result. I started my cycle on March 28th and heavy bleeding started on the 1st and lasted 7 days, I am still spotting and have to wear a pad. I do not know what to do? I am going on age 40.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
If you have not responded to Mirena, then you might have to consider surgical therapy for your symptoms.
Please provide your D and C report for further guidance.
Mirena should ideally cure the functional uterine bleeding.
Kindly write back with fuller details for guidance.
