Heavy cramps and spotting after iub insertion 15 months ago. should i get it removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IUD ?'s: "Heavy cramps and spotting" with an IUD in place may indicate movement of the IUD into the cervical canal (due to uterine contractions). This will cause both the cramping and the spotting. See your gyn who will determine if the IUD needs to be discontinued or replaced.
