Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have an IUD in and I'm taking estrogen to stop the bleeding, but I'm still bleeding. What should I do?
Answered by Dr. Mini Sood
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Estrogen will not work, so please stop taking it. It's important to get a scan to assess your condition. If the bleeding is excessive and disrupting your daily life, you may need to have the IUD removed and consider an alternative contraceptive method—there are many options available. If the bleeding is not severe, medications to stop it can be prescribed after proper tests. Additionally, ensure you get a Pap smear, as it's essential at your age.
