Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Usually following IUD insertion people might experience symptoms like cramping, on & off bleeding /spotting , abdominal pain,headache, back pain etc. These symptoms will settle within 6months.

In your case, brownish discharge after 1year might be a complication sometimes. I advice you to,

- consult your gynaecologist for a USG pelvis in order to locate if there is any pathology
-  Also can take a course of DMPA or cyclic progestins & oral estrogens as per your doctor guidance, till the spotting stops.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
