Have a query?

I am experiencing prolonged and heavy menstrual bleeding lasting about 20 days after insertion of a Copper-T. This is my second period after insertion. Is this normal, and what should I do?

Asked by Female, 26 · 27 days ago

It is common to experience slightly heavier and longer periods during the first few cycles after Copper-T insertion, but bleeding lasting as long as 20 days is not normal and needs medical attention. Prolonged bleeding can lead to weakness and anaemia. You should consult a gynaecologist, who may check the position of the Copper-T, rule out infection or other causes, and prescribe medicines to control bleeding. In some cases, if symptoms are severe and persistent, removal or change of the contraceptive method may be advised.
