A member asked:

How much bleeding to expect and for how long after iud removal in postmenopausal woman?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mild for week: Once your iud is removed, expect light bleeding or spotting for up to a week afterward. Heavy bleeding is not normal following iud removal, and may indicate complications.
