A member asked:
My gyno cant see me until monday but a hospital ultra sound confirmed my iud is malpositioned. would this cause bleeding or could it just be a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be both: If this is the time in your menstrual cycle for a period then it may be a period. However, if it is not, then mal-positioned IUD's can cause the bleeding.
