Is it normal to constantly bleed, discharge & clot, back ache 5 months after fitting copper coil?
Patient: I had the copper coil fitted 5 months ago and everything was normal had heavy periods and cramping but were manageable, but the last 3 months I hav constantly bled sometime red sometimes brown heavy and light and also discharge and small clotting, I get constant back ache and just feel weak all the time and still getthe butterfly feeling in my tummy is this normal Doctor: Hi, Thanks for the query.I understand your issue. Bleeding after copper T is common and is usually in the form of heavy bleeding during periods. White discharge is also common. Continuous heavy discharge may occur in some women but it needs to be investigated to rule out other causes. Also backache and heavy discharge indicate an infection. I suggest that you get a gynecologic examination done and also check to see if the copper T is in place. If it is an infection, it will get treated by antibiotics.Hope this satisfies your query.
