A member asked:

I am 56 yrs old had bioidentical horemone pellets inserted.now heavy bleeding and pain still 8 months later..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: Unfortunately it is not that uncommon for the pellets to cause cramping and bleeding. However, they should only stay in your system for 3-4 months. If you are still having pain and bleeding see your doctor. You may need a pelvic ultrasound.
