Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had the mirena birth control put in in January and found out then that I have a cyst that the doctor said is leaking blood into my abdomen. I have not had a period since I had it inserted but today I passed a blood clot the size of a quarter and am in pain. Should I be worried ??
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
If that was just one clot and one episode, no need to worry then. But, if it happens quite often, then you should consult your gynecologist.
Mirena mostly causes breakthrough bleeding and/or spotting, change in menstrual periods. So its all this drug induced.
Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead. Regards! DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF USA
