A member asked:
I had my mirena (levonorgestrel) ius removed in january, and am having heavy bleeding, clotting, cramping. is there anything i can do to help myself heal? w/o meds.

See below: Having an intrauterine device removed can cause "scraping" on the uterine lining that can take a few weeks to heal. If yours was removed in january and you're bleeding heavily, it most likely has nothing to do with the iud removal. You should see your physician for an evaluation.
