A member asked:

I had a copper iud removed 6 months ago, since then my periods have been regular but very light and brown. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Light menses: Regular menses are reassuring. The color of your flow is due to the scantiness of it. Blood tends to turn dark in this situation.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
