I choose to have the Mirena birth control inserted this past May. The insertion was painful but after a few days the bleeding and cramping stopped and I have not had a period since. The past four days I have been experiencing cramping along the left side of my lower abdomen, experiencing back pain, and passing extremely bright red blood and blood clots. I have also developed dizzines, fever, and a severe lack of appetite.
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Some people do not tolerate the IUD, and the symptoms which you described occur in them. If they increase, then you might have to get yourself reassessed by your gynecologist who might decide to get the IUD removed and either replace it with some other IUD, or advise you on some other contraceptive device. I hope pregnancy was excluded before inserting the IUD. However, getting a serum Chat Doctor estimation and an ultrasound of abdomen done might prove to be helpful. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
