What to do with heavy menstrual periods caused by iud? i prefer not to use iud with hormones
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get rid of the IUD: Or if you want to keep the iud you need to get an ultrasound to make sure nothing strange is going on, and then you can take a medicine called Lysteda that will slow down you period bleeding so see yoiur gyn to discuss with your gyn.
