A member asked:

I've had the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud since january & every time i have intercourse i bleed after, sometimes for a few days. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can be : Irregular bleeding is common for up to 6 months after the insertion of Mirena (levonorgestrel). However, bleeding after intercourse can also be a symptom of abnormal cells on the cervix or cervicitis. Your PCP or GYN can check for both of these with an exam. Hope this helps.
