A member asked:
I finished my period last week and my discharge is still a brownish color...is this normal? i got an iud 5 months ago, could it just be a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely a Side effect: Women with Progesterone containing iuds such as Mirena (levonorgestrel) or skyla often have irregular bleeding. If the discharge is associated with a foul odor, pain or fever , contact your healthcare professional.
