I have had iud since March and have had fairly continuous spotting since insertion, in the last few months intercourse has become painful and the discharge is dark. I have seen a doctor and she said that the iud may be poking and irritating the lining of my uterus . That was almost two Months ago what are my options. And if I have it removed what is a reliable form of birth control that will be effective as soon as possible after removal.
Hello! Thanks for your query. The most common side effect of IUD is spotting. Painful sex and dark discharge may be from the cervical or vaginal pathologies. You should do a PAP smear(if you do not have done within 1 year) or vaginal smear to exclude any infection. There are so many birth control methods after you remove IUD
